Gmail (non)Access on IPhone 4 after changing password on-line

I changed the password on my Gmail account on-line, due to the Heartbleed Bug (per Google/Gmail instructions), and have changed the password for my gmail on my i phone (4), but it will no longer allow me to receive my gmail on my phone, because it says my password is incorrect. ??? It keeps sending me back to the same page in Settings where I would re-enter my gmail password, which I've done, several times, and rebooted my phone, and still can no longer receive mail on my phone. I can get into my account on-line, using my new password.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide...

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

Try deleting the account, then adding it back.

I Had this problem on my Ipad. I went to mail, contacts, calendars under settings. Then I deleted the Gmail account. Next I added it under add account. Essentially I reinstalled it there by choosing Google and then filling out all the other specs. And putting in my new password. During some parts of this you have to click on done. Arrow yourself back to see that it is as you want it. Done! I had to do this on each of my i pads as well....the ipad mini too.
