How can I change mail account password in ios18.2

I need to change the password of my Gmail email account on my (old) iPhone using iOS18.2. I was told to open Settings/Mail/Accounts/Gmail/password.

However no password field is available, neither at that level, nor at the level below (account settings), nor at the 2nd level down (advanced). How to do it?

iPhone SE, iOS 18

You would first need to change your password within your Google account. Visit Google.com and then follow the instructions here: https://support.google.com/answer/2452059?hl=en


Then, I would recommend removing the account and then adding it back to your iPhone:

  1. Delete an email account (Add and remove email accounts on iPhone - Apple Support)
  2. Restart the iPhone (Restart your iPhone - Apple Support)
  3. Add the email account back (Add and remove email accounts on iPhone - Apple Support)
