Okay, everywhere it says that email passwords should be at: settings - account and password - said account. They are NOT there for IOS 14. "Passwords" relates only to websites. "Accounts" has everything but passwords to said accounts. There doesn't seem to be any other place. Yahoo is about to close down my access unless I change the password, but I cannot find it. Can anyone assist?
iPhone 11
I have ios 14.1 on iphone 11 and am trying to re-enter email password as requested by the phone. When I go to settings there is no 'Mail' choice. When I search for 'mail' in settings the only thing that comes up is Mail under apple ID, which gets me nowhere. I've spent over an hour looking for mail>accounts and can't find it. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks

In iOS 14x, go to Settings>Mail>Accounts>tap on your Yahoo account, then once that opens, tap on your email address and that gives you access to the username/password area.
When I tap on the Yahoo account, it opens - that gives me a choice of tapping on "Account" with the email address. I open that. There are two places there that can be tapped - SMTP and Advanced. None of these options opens to a password location. This is driving me nuts. Why do they keep "fixing" what isn't broken????
I'm sorry I missed your reply. Have you resolved your issue, or do you still need help?
When you open account as you described, just above SMTP and Advanced you should see a block titled Incoming Mail Server, and that should have Host Name, User Name and Password. You would need to change Password there for incoming. Then tap SMTP and where it shows Primary Server, if that is the Yahoo server, tap on it, and it will open a block titled Outgoing Mail Server. There are the same settings there and you should see Password. That is the password for the SMTP or Outgoing server.

It's much easier simply to delete the account and add it back.
If you are not seeing Mail in Settings, then you may have some Restrictions turned on. Check for that.
Can' t find Yahoo email passwords to change IOS 14.
