If you have changed your email password in cPanel, you will need to update it on your iPhone too, otherwise your mail will stop sending and receiving.

:::info
The Settings path below reflects iOS 14 and earlier. On iOS 14 and later the section is called **Mail** rather than **Mail, Contacts, Calendars**, but the steps are otherwise the same.

## Steps

1. Open the **Settings** app on your iPhone. The icon may be on a different screen or in a different location than shown in the screenshots below.
