Q: Password Incorrect after IOS 8 update

I installed iOS 8 on my 5s and had this problem. I got my new 6 and thought that would solve the problem but it happens on the 6 to.

It seems to happen on my Exchange accounts most often (maybe 5 times today).  However I have seen it on my yahoo account and gmail account as well.  I don't remember see my icloud account having the problem, But I will keep an eye on it.  It's a bit frustrating.  I'm sure it will get worked out.

Just an update. iPad is behaving the same.

It wont accept my password and I can't get online with either WIFI or Verizon, even when plugged in to MACBOOK PRO. Big trouble!

I am still unable to access e mail or any other internet connections. IPhone works for phone calls only.

I have just completed the update.  I have received the message a few times already but hopefully that will stop.  I will post again later after I've given it some time.  Thanks léonie, I had not seen the update available before you posted.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

I have updated to 8.0.2 and still cannot access any of my mail accounts having double and triple checked the passwords.

[Edit]

I totally forgot about two factor auth with my gmail accounts. For anyone who has had the same issue you'll need an app specific password, I found this article helpful: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/w8YsYHFsYC8

I experience it with IOS 8.0.2 as well. This has not been fixed. I can not get a wifi connection even while using the correct password.

I have tried hard resetting the phone and my iPad. But this does not work. Apple suggests to make a backup and then resetting the phone and iPad to factory settings. I do not know if this will work. Seems stupid to have to reinstall everything again!

VIsit to Boston Apple store yesterday led to no solution. Two technicians claimed they had not come accross this before. I now have appointment in a week at the genious bar. Very very disappointing.

Just circling back to report.  After installing 8.0.2, I see no change.  I am still getting, what seems to be random, "Password Incorrect for..." messages.  Sometimes I enter the password and it solves the problem for awhile.  Other times it will not except my password and keeps asking until I have to hit cancel.  If I then go into Mail settings I can erase my password and re-enter it.  That seems to satisfy it for awhile.

I thought I would note, I am not having any Wifi issues.  I am also get the certificate warning message a lot as well.

I forgot to add,  The problem started on my 5S but I got a 6 on launch day that I set up from scratch without loading a back up.  It of course is having the same problem.

DO you have two step verication enabled cause it won't work with the iOS Mail app: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/46193/ios-fix-for-gmail-password-incorrect-error- in-mail-app/
