I Changed My Gmail Password & Now the Email on My iPhone Doesn't Work

Tap the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
Step 2
Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" from the list of options.
Step 3
Tap the Gmail account's name to access your account settings.
Step 4
Select the "Account" button that includes your email address.
Step 5
Tap the "Password" field and enter the new password. Select "Done."
