Beginning this morning I’m getting a message at the bottom of my screen when checking emails it says error. It also tells me to go to email accounts and enter a supposedly missing password. I don’t understand because nothing has been done in regards to passwords or email accounts and when I go to accounts email accounts that is there’s no place to put a password. I can’t receive my emails until this is resolved. Please help.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

You can try deleting and reinstalling the mail account.


Or your mail provider now requires you to use 2 factor authentication when using a 3rd party app. Talk to your mail provider or look at their help site.
