Hi, I’m using iPhone 8 on iOS 14. I have gmail, yahoo mail and hotmail account on my phone. I want to change password of all these 3 email accounts on my computer. My question is how to update this password for all these 3 mail accounts linked to my iPhone?

On your iPhone - Settings > Mail > Accounts

You should be able to update the passwords for each once you have changed, you will need to update the password for both incoming an outgoing mail servers.

I think they will just prompt for the new password when try to sync after the password change if nothing else.

You shouldn’t have needed to delete the account, and normally you wouldn’t be asked for that data.

Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account > Google

It should pull all the server info for you as long as your user name and password are entered correctly.
