I just set up my new iPhone 13 Pro Max by using the transfer feature from my old 12 Pro Max and some of my email accounts are not working. I can not find the location to enter/edit the passwords for these accounts. I checked settings > Mail > Accounts and I do not see the options in this section. Where do you do this?

Thanks
 
Where do you enter the passwords? When I click on each individual email account, such as a Gmail account, I have the sliders to synch Mail, Contacts, etc. At the top there is the Account that displays the email account. I click on it and it takes me to another screen with no where to enter/update the password. I must be missing something really obvious. Thanks
 
Do you have 2 factor turned on for gmail? The migration may have moved the password for you but gmail may not recognize the device. You could delete the account and re-add it back and see if it prompts you for the password.

I do not have 2 factor turned on. I also have some Outlook and Yahoo accounts and there are no password options for those either. I guess I will need to delete them all and re-enter them. Thanks
 
Odd re: Outlook, as the option is there for me. I have the ">" next to the account name and can enter password under there.

The password for Yahoo and Exchange mail is at Settings->Mail->Accounts-><Yahoo/Exchange account>->Account. You don’t see a place to set the password in that location?
