"no password provided for" error

I have a newish iPhone 12 running v15.5. Went to change passwords on two email accounts (other domain). First one was fine. Second one throws the "No password provided for" error. Both accounts were working fine previously. Both accounts have the same settings. Both accounts work fine from laptop client and webmail settings. The email provider is not the issue here. The iPhone software has a problem.

It's pretty clear from the community responses that quite a few people have seen this error and have been unable to fix the problem. What's the actual fix?

Ok. I deleted the account a second time and walked through the new account step by step. It worked on this second time through, which was probably due to greater attention to detail and entering all of the optional information.

Resolution: The actual fix is to delete the account and create a new one (exactly like the ones that are working).

It can help to delete the email account from your iPhone and then add it again with the right credentials

After a couple of times getting the "No password provided" dialog, it stopped displaying. Instead it gives the appearance of having a password. Then, when it tries to load the messages I get "Account Error: Cannot Get Mail No password provided Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password."

Deleting the second account and creating a new one with the updated password did not work. What's the actual fix?
