What issue are you talking about? The only way to change the password for gmail, hotmail, AOL and any AOL hosted email account (including Yahoo, BTW), MS Exchange, and almost any other type of IMAP account is to delete the account and add it back. I say “only”, but there are workarounds that are much more complicated than simply deleting and adding. In part because every email account has two passwords, one for sending and one for receiving, and doing it manually most people miss the sending password, then wonder why they can’t send email. And Yahoo is a special case, because they have a 2 factor authentication feature that requires confirming any change with a Yahoo app. And Google has recently made this change for gmail, also.
Within the next year most passwords will go away, to be replaced by the new international security standard called Passkey. Passwords are one of the worst security ideas ever invented; compromised passwords are the single most common cause of security breaches on servers and websites around the world. And Apple’s next OS updates for all devices will support passkey.
