Now open registeration.js file present inside the routes folder. We are sending links to users on mail who are trying to retrieve their password. In order to do this, we are using NodeMailer. On line 105 and 117 you need to enter the email ID which you want to use to the mails and on line 106, you want to enter its password. Besides this, make sure you turn on less secured app access for that particular Gmail Account by going to :
