How can you change the email password on a new iphone 15? Already changed on the Microsoft Live site and recorded in Keychain. Iphone state you cannot change the email password in Settings where it still has the old password.

If that happened to me, I would re-add this account then remove the incorrect one.

Would I still have all emails on the original account?

I am not certain. It depends on Microsoft Live (about which I know nearly nothing) and the particular email setup you have (I know nothing about the choices you are offered).


The chances are if you can view your email on any other device they would be preserved through this process.


The central issue is where the emails are housed. If they’re on a Microsoft server somewhere, you should be fine. But if they’re stored solely on your iPhone, expect to lose them.
