How to reset your Gmail password
It is never a bad time to change your Gmail password. In fact, it is always good to change your password on a routine basis for security reasons. Also, you never know when a security breach will occur or if a hacker has compromised your account behind the scenes.
Gmail messages and account settings remain private, change your Gmail password every few months. Even if you do this, you can sometimes forget your password as it is changed frequently.
Verify your password in Internet Accounts preferences
- Depending on the type of email account you are using, you may be able to correct your password as follows:
- Exit Mail. If it doesn't stop, you can force it.
- Choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Internet Accounts.
- Select your email account in the sidebar.
- If you see a password field for your account, remove the password and enter the correct password.
- Close System Preferences, then open Mail and try using your account again.
If Mail still asks for your password, the password is probably wrong. Your email provider can help you verify your email settings and make sure you are using the correct password.
