I recently changed my Google password and now I am getting a CalDav incorrect password error on my iPhone and iPad. I have entered and re-entered my new Google password 15 times, being really careful to type it exactly right, and it keeps rejecting it. Now I can't use the calendar on my phone. It's obviously a common problem - is there a straightforward fix?
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
Hello Paperhanger1,
You've walked through great steps to ensure your calendar continues to sync as expected. It sounds as though you've updated your email password in Settings > Calendar > Accounts. In addition to those steps, have you deleted and re-added the email? If not, tap Delete Account, once removed, tap Add Account in Settings > Calendar Accounts, and follow the prompts to sign in to your Google account. You can also find these step in the following article.

Deleting and re-adding the CalDav account worked perfectly! I'm always a little afraid of following instructions like that, since my life would be a total mess if I lost my online calendars.
Great Paperhanger1,
We're glad to see that it worked for you, and hope you have a great day.
Cheers!
