Where do I go in iOS 13.7 Settings to change my email server password?

I recently had to change the password on my email server. How do I change it on my iPhone 7? I can't find anything in Settings where I can do that, so I can no longer access my email on the phone. Thanks so much for any help!

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Hello Turtlewiz,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

We understand from your post that you have changed your email account's password and cannot access email on your iPhone. If you are not prompted to enter the new password when you refresh the screen in the Mail app, then you may need to remove the email account and add it back again.

If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

"Remove your email account and set it up again

On your computer, sign in to your email provider’s website. Make sure that all of your email is there or make sure that your email is saved somewhere other than your iOS device.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts.
Tap the email account that you want to remove.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again."

Best Regards.

Thanks, but it turns out that I didn't need to delete my account. It's pretty simple:

On your computer, sign in to your email provider’s website. Make sure that all of your email is there or make sure that your email is saved somewhere other than your iOS device.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts.
Tap the email account that you want to remove.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again."
