Error message on MacBook Pro M1 2022 Running Venturer 13.3.1

I keep getting error message "Can't log into account 'Gmail'.

Enter password for user 'mears'.


However, whichever p/w I enter, it says it's wrong!

I have tried all p/w's I have ever used to no avail and it is driving me crazy!


Any ideas please?
