Update email password

When trying to update my e-mail password in iPhone settings, I get the message that the e-mail address is invalid. E-mail address did noty change and that account was working properly before password has changed.

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Don't try to change the password in an account in the phone.

Instead:

  • Change the email account password in a browser, preferably a laptop.
  • In the iphone delete the email account in Settings, Mail (iOS14)
  • Add the account back using the new password


This does not apply to Icloud email account)
