You may have enabled two-step verification on Google --> Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help
It's crucial to emphasize that when you enable 2-step verification for your Google account, you need to utilize a specially generated app password from Google to access the same account through the iOS mail app.
Using an app password is essential if you enable two-step verification for your Google account. Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone or authenticator app in addition to your password when signing in. Regular passwords won't work with apps that don't support two-step verification, which is why Google created app passwords. Just generate an app password for your iPhone's mail app and you'll be good to go!
Here are some additional points you might find helpful:
- You can generate app passwords through your Google account security settings.
- App passwords are unique and only work for the specific app they're created for.
- Consider creating strong and unique passwords for your Google account and other online accounts.
