Password Incorrect after IOS 8 update

I have been receiving several of these Password Incorrect messages when I try to check my email accounts since updating to IOS 8. This is happening several times a day and I have to reenter the passwords and a few hours later I will get the same message again. My saved password for Facebook also keeps deleting itself automatically and I have to reenter it several times a day. I have done a master reset of my phone and I've also delete my mail accounts and reinstalled them and I'm still getting the same message. I'm attaching a photo of one of the messages that is popping up on my phone.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

I have updated to 8.0.2 and still cannot access any of my mail accounts having double and triple checked the passwords.


[Edit]


I totally forgot about two factor auth with my gmail accounts. For anyone who has had the same issue you'll need an app specific password, I found this article helpful: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/w8YsYHFsYC8

I experience it with IOS 8.0.2 as well. This has not been fixed. I can not get a wifi connection even while using the correct password.


I have tried hard resetting the phone and my iPad. But this does not work. Apple suggests to make a backup and then resetting the phone and iPad to factory settings. I do not know if this will work. Seems stupid to have to reinstall everything again!

Just circling back to report. After installing 8.0.2, I see no change. I am still getting, what seems to be random, "Password Incorrect for..." messages. Sometimes I enter the password and it solves the problem for awhile. Other times it will not except my password and keeps asking until I have to hit cancel. If I then go into Mail settings I can erase my password and re-enter it. That seems to satisfy it for awhile.


I thought I would note, I am not having any Wifi issues. I am also get the certificate warning message a lot as well.


I forgot to add, The problem started on my 5S but I got a 6 on launch day that I set up from scratch without loading a back up. It of course is having the same problem.
