Morning,
I had to change my gmail password and now my iphone IOS 18 mail needs the new password but I can not find where to put it in. On the previous IOS when you are getting the mail it would ask you to put in the new password. I updated the new apple password app, there is no area in the mail app in settings, and I can not find any other place.

Can someone let me know where I can input the new password.

Thanks

I thought it was in the main settings, under the Mail app’s accounts. I’ve not got mine hooked up to that currently, so I cannot check myself.
 
Should be in Settings > Apps (at the very bottom) > Mail > select your Gmail account there > overwrite the previous password?
I went there but saw nothing that indicates where a password can be updated
 
Gmail (and in turn Mail app) uses OAuth authentication, so no password field to update.

Mail should give you a warning about failed login when trying to access, then you can re-enter the new credentials.

Might try turning off Mail in Google/Gmail account settings and then re-enable it.

Can also force things by removing the Gmail account and re-adding it.
