I would change one part of the suggestion, should you need to do this in the future. Yes, change the password on whatever third-party web page you need to. Then, go to your iPhone, delete the account, and re-add it with the new password. It almost always works better than trying to change just the password.

Sort of. Was able to change password for one email account but have not gotten a please change password request for the others so have not been able to change the other email passwords. Changing in the Password app seems to have no effect.

Delete the account and add it back. When you do, you'll be prompted for a password. Use the new one.
