Sure!
"Reset remote" can mean a few different things depending on what you want:

**If you mean in Git (most common use):**

| Situation | Command |
|:—|:—|
| Reset your local branch to match the remote exactly (discard local changes) | `git fetch origin“git reset –hard origin/branch-name` |
| Force push your local branch to overwrite the remote | `git push –force origin branch-name` |
| Remove a remote (like origin) | `git remote remove origin` |
| Change the remote URL | `git remote set-url origin new-url.git` |

—

**Example:**
If you're on `main` and want to reset it to the remote `origin/main`:

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/main

**⚡ Warning:** `–hard` will **discard any local uncommitted changes**.

—

Did you mean **reset remote branch**, **reset remote URL**, or something else?
Tell me a little more so I give you the exact command you need! 🚀
Which one are you trying to do?

Alright, the error you are getting:

Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "neeraj.tiw1988@gmail.com"
535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted

**It simply means:**
👉 Google **blocked** your login because **normal username/password** is **not enough** anymore for Gmail SMTP.

Google **does not allow** "less secure app" login anymore.
Instead you have two options:

—

# ✅ Solution 1: Use an "App Password" (Recommended)

If you are using Gmail, you **cannot use your real password** for SMTP anymore.
You need to create a special **App Password**.

Steps:
1. Go to: [https://myaccount.google.com/security](https://myaccount.google.com/security)
2. Under **"Signing in to Google"**, enable **2-Step Verification** (if not already).
3. After 2-Step Verification is enabled, go to **App Passwords** section.
4. Choose:
– App: **Mail**
– Device: **Other** → Type `Laravel SMTP` or anything.
5. Google will generate a **16-character password** for you (something like `abcd efgh ijkl mnop`).
6. **Use this generated password** in your Laravel `.env` file instead of your real password.

**Example in your `.env`:**

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=neeraj.tiw1988@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_app_password_here
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

✅ Then it will work.

—

# ✅ Solution 2: Use a different mail service (like SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.)

If you don't want this App Password setup, you can also switch to a service like:
– **Mailgun** (free for small projects)
– **SendGrid** (easy to setup)
– **Postmark** (good for production)

They give you easy SMTP credentials and are meant for websites, not personal emails.

—

# 🛑 Why did this happen?
Google **disabled "Less Secure Apps"** login after 2022.
Now, only "App Password" method is allowed for SMTP connections.

—

**In short:**
👉 Create **App Password** → use it in your `.env` → Done ✅

Would you like me to also show you **how to test** it from your Laravel project after setting it?
(Laravel has a quick command to test email sending 🚀)
Would you like me to send that too? 🎯
