How to change email password on Iphone 7

I changed my AOL email password, I'm trying to change it on my IPhone 7 but can't seem to do it. I went online to see if I could find the answer, I went to settings, then it tells me to go to contacts and email and click on it, the problem is that it's not together, I can either click on email or contact. I appreciate anyone's help.


Thanks,

Ali

I will defer to madra31 on this but if you need to change the password in the mail settings in order to get the mail app to work, do it this way.


Settings>Accounts & Passwords>Accounts>Your AOL account>Account>Password. Also go to Outgoing Mail Server Setting>Primary Server (smtp.aol.com)>Password.


I make this suggestion because I have several email accounts on my devices and I have two AOL and two Xfinity accounts. I can only save one log in for each account, or I will override the settings if I update the Keychain when switching accounts, so I recently changed my AOL work password in the manner I described above.


I hope that makes sense.
