Unable to access gmail on my Apple Devices

I have a Macbook Air, and Ipad and an iphone 8 all of which have my gmail synched.

Two days ago when accessing gmail I received a note saying "Account Error" and then "cannot get mail".

When asked to enter my password I received "unable to verify account name or password".

I accessed google.com and changed my password which was verified. I was also able to access my gmail account through google.com but still not through any of my apple devices.

Has anyone any idea what has gone wrong.

For info my laptop is 2013 vintage, my ipad 2015 and the phone is an 8.

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Report your issue to gmail support or look at their help site, since they not Apple can't verify your account.
