// Steps to Update Your Email Password:

  1. Go to: Settings > Apps > Mail.
  2. SelectMail Accounts.
  3. Choose the account that requires a password update.
  4. Toggle off the Mail button.
  5. When prompted, enter the new password.
  6. If needed, toggle the Mail button back on to ensure the mailbox reappears in the app. //



We have an iPhone 14, with 18.1.1.


This did not work for us. Toggling off "Mail" did nothing - no prompt - nor did toggling it back on.


Our solution was to delete the mail account and re-add it.


Apple has a bug here. They may have tried to change too much too fast. Happens.
