Suddenly cannot get email on my iphone with iOS 14.2. I get the message that there is no password provided. I have rebooted the phone. I have gone to settings and re-entered my password for the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Am jstill getting the same message that there is no password provided.

For all of those with ATT accounts, I had to get a 'secure mail key from ATT and use it during the email account setup process where it asked for password. Overall, it was a very frustrating process and I was shocked when it finally started working. It really should not be this confusing. I did the following.
1. Got the secure mail key by logging into ATT account and going to profile and requesting the key.
2. Deleted existing yahoo/att email account from iPhone
3. Adding the new 'other' email account using the steps is the article, https://www.serversettings.email/att.net-email-server-settings-imap.php#iphone
*** use email key where it asks for password
Thank you to all that posted some information on the topic because there does not appear to be a 100% clear answer for all situations.
What type of email account (ie, AOL, iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo, Verizon, etc)?
Aol
How did you get it working again I have a virgin media email so same here but I have no clue what I am doing?
Same here I have no clue how to fix it
Then why the email is working in the Macbook but not in the phone???
Oh, yesss maybe I'm so stupid that I cannot enter the same password that I just created, thanks for your help.
OK, since you just want to argue and not solve the problem I will leave it to you to solve it.
This did not help. I'm trying to add my private work email, and even though I put the password in, I get an error of 'no password'. It's not my provider's issue, it's Apple's.
I am getting this issue with one of my email accounts. My company say it’s not them and must be at apples end but nothing seems to work.
I am receiving no password message after trying to download email to new ipad
I can receive, but I get that error when attempting to send. The linked article is about receiving, not sending, so it doesn't help me.
I had this problem for YEARS. The solution has been posted but it was hard to find. It fixed the problem on my husband’s and my iPhones and both our iPads.
1. Sign in and go to the AOL Account security page. You can do this by signing on to AOL from a computer.
2. Click Generate app password or Manage app passwords.
3. Select your app from the drop down menu and click Generate.
4. Follow the instructions below the password.
- Be sure to enter the password into your app without any spaces.
5. Click Done.
6. Use this app password and your email address to sign in to your email app.
Changed password for a shorter simpler one nothing else changed and now it works. Could it be as simple as there is a max character length or apple
does not like complicated passwords or tries to auto correct them and we cannot see it?

“They” means your email provider. Apple has nothing to do with your email authentication, the mail app simply forwards what you enter to your provider without even looking at it. And your email provider may not want the same password on your iPhone, especially if it is AOL, Yahoo, or any of the dozens of email providers that contract with AOL or Yahoo to manage their mail service; these all require an application-specific password that will be different from your webmail password. Go to your provider's website; they will have a support page specifically for setting up email on an iPhone.
Hi, Chervyl,
I found this solution on a different discussion so can’t make any guarantees but I will say I have had zero security issues. I am just thankful that it works!
