Recovering password for outlook email account that I used to open from my iPhone Mail app

Hi - Sometime during update my iPhone asked me for my outlook email account password that I used to open on iPhone Mail app. I could not remember so I guessed couple of times now I am locked out. I have tried to recover my email account many using Microsoft recovery form but I have not been successful. My question is - since I used to open the email from my iPhone can I find the password on my phone or any other method? It is not under "Password" button of iPhone settings. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

iPhone X, iOS 14

Hey there Avichya,


It sounds like you're having trouble accessing your email account due to a forgotten password. We'll be happy to help advise.


In this case you'll want to continue working with your email service provider to help reset your password. If the password was not stored locally on the device, working with Microsoft would be the best course of action.
