I am new to the whole sending emails through websites, so apologies.
Problem: I have a hostinger plan that has emails included. I'm using nodemailer to send the email. After a few tries I think the email will be sent if this error is solved. The config is OK, but it crashes on my auth: {}
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.hostinger.com",
port: 465,
secure: true,
auth: {
user: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAIL_USERNAME,
pass: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAIL_PASSWORD,
},
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false,
},
});
The Error:
Error sending email: Error: Invalid login: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed:

In my Hostinger plan I can create emails such as "info@domain.com", when logging into that email I am sent to "hostinger.titan.email/" with an email password combination to log in. I am using THAT email password in my
user: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAIL_USERNAME,
pass: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAIL_PASSWORD,
If anyone has experience with this, all info would be highly appreciated
For anyone having this problem, Hostinger is not the host, but Titan.
Here is the correct config
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp.titan.email",
port: 465,
secure: true,
auth: {
user: "test@domain.com",
pass: "XXXXXXX",
},
});
