Unable to add Google account on Iphone 14

I was able to add these accounts when I bought the phone initially. Now I have done a factory resetting of my phone and when I try to add back Gmail using Settings -> Mail-> Add Account -> Gmail nothing happens. For Yahoo, AOL, and others pop up opens, and only for Gmail, it's Idol with no actions.

Using an app password is essential if you enable two-step verification for your Google account. Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone or authenticator app in addition to your password when signing in. Regular passwords won't work with apps that don't support two-step verification, which is why Microsoft created app passwords. Just generate an app password for your iPhone's mail app and you'll be good to go!


Here are some additional points you might find helpful:

  • You can generate app passwords through your Google account security settings.
  • App passwords are unique and only work for the specific app they're created for.
  • Consider creating strong and unique passwords for your Google account and other online accounts.


This applies to Google, Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL too.
