This is a Gmail issue. The iphone doesn't make up the message that your username or password is incorrect unless gmail report that back when it tries to log you in.


This is usually caused by two step verificaiton on a gmail account. Since iOS Mail cannot get SMS enabled verification codes, Gmail has created an 'App Specific Password" system. Check this out and see if you have created a 2nd password specifically for your gmail on your iPhone.
