gmail

I was trying to sign into gmail with my apple account but it keeps saying my password is wrong although I recently changed it and i’m 100% sure it’s correct. I’m not sure why it keeps saying that, I would appreciate if someone could help.

iPhone XR, 16

Can you please clarify? You state you’re trying to sign into your Gmail account with your Apple ID details so are you trying to set up your iCloud email via Gmail or actually sign in to your Google account with your Apple details?

Usually you would sign in to Gmail with your Google account not your Apple ID.

If you’re trying to add your iCloud email to Gmail then most likely you’ll require an app specific password which is entered instead of the account password.

If you do not remember the Apple ID Password then follow the steps given in this Apple Article -> If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

If you are the owner or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their Apple ID.
