Sending Mail configuration in django

Question

I am facing a problem when trying to test sending a message from the django app, but I get this error message :

SMTPAuthenticationError at /accounts/contact_us
 (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8  
  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials f13sm16175910wrt.86 - 
gsmtp')

And I looked for all the possible solutions like : Enable two-step verification , Enable less secure app access settings . But it was in vain and did not work successfully. Could anyone help please ?

this is my settings :

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'myname@gmail.com‏'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '****************'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_PORT = 587

this is my views.py:

def contact_us(requset):
    subject = requset.POST.get('subject', '')
    message = requset.POST.get('message', '')
    from_email = requset.POST.get('from_email', '')
    send_mail(subject, message, from_email, ['myname@gmail.com'])
    return render( requset , 'accounts/contact_us.html' )

this is my contact_us.html:

<div class="contact_form">
  <form name="contact_form" action="" method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <p><input type="text" name="subject" class="name" placeholder="subject" required></p>
    <p><textarea name="message" class="message" placeholder="message" required></textare></p>
    <p><input type="text" name="from_email" class="email" placeholder="email" required></p>           
    <p><input type="submit" value="sent" class="submit_btn"></p>
  </form>
</div>
