Trying to set up email account. It’s asking me to go to mail account settings and enter a password. I don’t understand.

I can get emails on my laptop but not on my iPhone. My phone is updated to 15.1. I can’t get email account (gmail.com) when I try to add. It’s telling me no password entered for Gmail. And to go to mail account settings and enter a password. I don’t understand what that means.

The easiest way to rectify that problem is to completely remove the email account, and add it again.


Refer to If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Scroll all the way down to Remove your email account and set it up again.
