[Tordis Hurrle]

Onceyou've set up your account in Mail for Windows 10, you don't have to enter your password every time you open the app. If the password for your email account expires or you change it for security purposes, you may need to update your password in the Mail app.

If you selected an Outlook.com account, you can change or update your password by choosing Change account settings. Mail for Windows 10 will take you to a webpage for your account where you can change your password. After you update the password on the webpage, Mail for Windows 10 will receive that change automatically.

Your administrator might synchronize your Google and Windows passwords on your managed Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 computer. To change or reset the password for your device, you update your Google Account password. If the following instructions don't work, ask your administrator to change or reset your password.

Changing your Gmail password regularly can keep your account safe and secure. Luckily, Google makes it very easy to do so. You'll just need to log into your account's settings with the current password to update it to a new one. If you forgot your password, you can choose to reset it instead. This wikiHow will show you how to change or reset your Gmail account password using your iPhone, iPad, Android, or computer.

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:

It turns out that since I have 2-step verification on my gmail account, I needed to add my phone to the gmail account with an app-specific password, before I could use the updated gmail account on my phone.

Hello, thanks for your response. I actually tried doing both of those things. Nothing has worked. I'm more concerned now because my Notes have suddenly disappeared as well as the items in my Calendar. (I'm not sure if that's related to the deleted Gmail account on my phone.) It's suspicious because some of my contacts are suddenly without a name (only a phone number). I'm afraid I may have a virus on my phone. I plan to take it to the Apple store today, and hopefully someone can fix it! (I can't remember when I last backed up my phone or if it even backs up the Notes, but I did have a lot of info in there.)

Can you please provide a url where I can update my Google settings? I'm having the exact same problem you're describing and I can't retrieve mail on my iPhone and desktop. I can get mail from my laptop, which is the device I used to activate 2-step verification after an unauthorized sign-in attempt.

We get it! The emails are coming, and they don't stop coming. You're always just one password memory slip away from internal peace. Emails can't "find you well" if you can't even get into your account, just sayin'.

First, go to Gmail like you would normally. Enter your email or click on your account if you already have it saved on the homepage. Then, underneath the spot where you'd normally enter your password, click on "Forgot password?"

Google needs to verify that you're the owner of the Gmail account you're trying to log into. Once you can verify that you're the owner, Google will sign you in and prompt you to change your password. There are a few ways you can do this.

In that case, below the text bar, click "Try another way." If you listed a backup email address when you created your Gmail account, you'll get a message on the next page saying an email was just sent to that backup email address. The email contains a verification code that you'll be prompted to enter back on the "Forgot password?" page.

If you don't have a backup email account associated with your Gmail, maybe you have a linked phone number. Click "Try another way" again; this time, you'll have the option to get a verification code sent to the phone number you have on your Google account. You can select either "Text" or "Call" to get this verification code, and, when it arrives, enter that code into the text bar.

It will, however, offer one more way to reset your password: The security question. You probably chose a security question and answer when you created your account. You'll see your security question and be prompted to answer it in order for Google to verify you as the Gmail account owner.

Once signed into your Gmail, click on your account profile icon in the top right corner. Under your icon, name, and email address, click "Manage your Google Account." On the next page, there'll be a menu with options on the left. Click the "Security" option with the padlock symbol next to it.

AFAIK no serious email client stores accounts passwords.

If you have forgotten your ISP account password for eM Client, then you should go to your ISP website and ask to reset that password. Then update that in eM Client.

If you are using oAuth, typical with Gmail, there is no password used in eM Client. Access to your Gmail account will continue regardless of how many times you change the password on the server. You do not need to change anything in eM Client.

Thank you.

Mysteriously my phone did pick up the eMClient emails today. It must have pulled the information from my old phone in the transfer but took a long time to process as it also did with se3veral other programs.

I was at the interface page originally and it appeared that I could change the password there but I was apprehensive about doing it. Thanks again.

If you are faculty or staff and are provided a Windows computer by the University, it will be configured to use your Brandeis password automatically for logging into the computer. Therefore if you change your password you'll log into the computer with your new password. If you are using an Apple computer, the password you use to login is not automatically using your Brandeis password. You will need to explicitly change it to match your Brandeis password. We found these helpful instructions.

Immediately after you change your password, you will also need to update your password on your mobile phone, tablet, and/or personal laptop that you currently use for work and that requires your Los Rios password.

I think I'm going crazy! My Outlook keeps popping up asking me to add my IMAP password (which I have no idea what it is), and my emails are not updating. I haven't changed anything to my knowledge and this is happening on both my phone and laptop. I keep being sent to Microsoft 365 to update the password which I have done and then realised I have another Outlook in Microsoft from years ago which I do not use. I need to find the IMAP password for the Outlook I do want to use as it's my business email but Outlook don't seem to have any contact details. Does anyone have any experience with this before I go mad? Really appreciate if anyone has any ideas at all? Many thanks

@RebeccaS50, first, check your email provider's requirements. Some providers, like Google and Microsoft, necessitate the use of app passwords instead of regular ones for email clients like Outlook. Visit your provider's website for instructions on obtaining an app password.

You can also try disabling and re-enabling your email account within Outlook by right-clicking your account, going to Account Settings, and choosing Disable, then Enable after a few seconds. Additionally, under the Security tab, you can uncheck "Always prompt for login credentials" in File > Account Settings > Account Settings > More Settings > Security.

Additional advice - test your email account through the web interface to isolate the issue to Outlook and if problems persist, use the Microsoft Support and Recovery Tool to diagnose and resolve Outlook issues.

This issue seem to also affect me on the new outlook client. It has happened after adding in a DNS verification entry to my own domain (which is also the primary account for outlook, but managed external to Microsoft).
