This is what you'll use in PHPMailer.

Sample Code

$email = new PHPMailer(true);

$email->IsSMTP(); // Use SMTP
$email->Host= 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Sets SMTP server

$email->SMTPDebug = 0; // 2 to enable SMTP debug information
$email->Debugoutput = 'html';
$email->SMTPAuth = TRUE; // enable SMTP authentication
$email->SMTPSecure = "SSL"; //Secure conection
$email->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port
$email->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);

$email->Username = 'your_email@gmail.com'; // Your Gmail address
$email->Password = 'your_app_password'; // The App Password
$email->setFrom('your_email@gmail.com', 'Your Name');
$email->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');
$email->Subject = '2FA Test Email';
$email->Body = 'This is 2 Step Verification Mail Sent by PHPMailer.';
