Using sendEmail with Gmail

I try to sending an E-Mail via Gmail and sendEmail. I have try some configurations but nothing works.

sendEmail \
-o tls=yes \
-f \
-t \
-s smtp.gmail.com:587 \
-xu \
-xp some-safty-password \
-u Hello World \
-m This is an E-Mail text.
RESULT: sendEmail[11181]: ERROR => ERROR => SMTP-AUTH: Authentication to smtp.gmail.com:587 failed.
sendEmail \
-o tls=yes \
-f \
-t \
-s smtp.gmail.com:465 \
-xu \
-xp some-safty-password \
-u Hello World \
-m This is an E-Mail text.
RESULT: sendEmail[11213]: ERROR => smtp.gmail.com:465 returned a zero byte response to our query.

I have try with and without TLS. I have activate POP, IMAP and SMTP on Gmail account.

Whats wrong with my config?

Find a solution with comment from andrew.46. I have to activate 'use less secure apps' in Google-Account (). Than following code works:

sendEmail \
-o tls=yes \
-f \
-t \
-s smtp.gmail.com:587 \
-xu \
-xp some-safty-password \
-u Hello World \
-m This is an E-Mail text.
