MAIL account password

I keep getting asked to put in my password. I cannot find a place to put it. When I go under apple account preferences for mail, and I click on the particular email account, nothing comes up about password. Where do I find the place to enter it?

How do I update a gmail password in macOS Mail I had a gmail account in macOS Mail. I wanted to add that account to my mobile devices but couldn't figure out the password. So I decided to change it...Mail directed me to a page to change it and I did, but it didn't update in Mail. Now I can't find that to try again. That said, I now have a working password for the account in question. However I can't figure out how to update the password in Mail. Help?

Where do I enter my email password in Apple Mail? Earlier, I received a notification from Google saying I had to re-enter my password for my email account. I am using Gmail with Apple Mail. It's been working for many years with no difficulties. This has happened before and there was no drama. When I clicked on the notification from Google a pop-up appeared from Google saying that I had to enter the password on their website. (This is typical, and I've done it before.) I did this without difficulty and I logged into my email account successfully ON the G-Mail website. Unfortunately, the Apple Mail program is not connecting to the Gmail server. A search online lead me to an Apple page that showed me how to enter my password. The problem is, there is NO place to enter my password in Apple Mail that I can find. Following Apple's instructions, I did this: Internet accounts > I selected my email account > Details (this is the place where Apple says I enter my password.) In "Details", there are ONLY 3 items, email address, description, and name. Nowhere to put in a password.

Mail app on Mac won't accept my password which works on browser AND iPhone mail app My Mail app says I'm not using the correct username or password, but I've not only verified it, but reset it, and it works everywhere else! So I know for a fact I'm using the correct info. It asks for BOTH my email and UserID, which are the same, and I have verified that. What is the deal?????

Who the " Mail Account" is placed with will narrow things down, a bit.
