Password Incorrect for CardDAV in Contacts

Every time I use or update Contacts, I receive two error messages: Password Incorrect, Enter the password for the CardDAV account "Contacts" and the same message saying I should update the account "Google" I have an iPhone 8 running iOS 14.8.


The earlier explanations don't make sense to me.


Thanks.


iPhone 8

Add Gmail account on the iOS mail app and enable iCloud. I do not know why you have used CardDav for Gmail.


Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


If Contacts on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...


Else add the email account that stores your contacts.
