I just set up my new MacBook Air. I keep getting an error triangle which says "Unable to verify account name or password". I don't know what account it refers to but I can't open the system settings.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5
Apple support gave me the answer. It was a new device setup and I hadn't completed the setup for 'Mail'. I only use Gmail, didn't bother with Mail. But once it was completed, the message no longer appeared. So, check for anything like an uncompleted setup.

Same here, I've not been able to access my 2 hotmail accounts since 24th Sept 2024, been plagued by this off an on daily for years but now no matter what I do I can not log in through Mac mail either on my MacBook Pro or iPhone. I've even changed both my login passwords by accessing my emails though a web browser on outlook.live.com. Then updated the passwords in the mail accounts on my computer but still I get this message.
I've resorted to downloading the Microsoft Outlook app on my MacBook. I really don't want to have to do this on my phone.
All online help about filling in your password in the blank space is not the solution.
My wife has the same problem on her MacBook Air and a friend of mine too. It all kicked off about a week or two ago.
My work emails still work in Apple Mail why doesn't hotmail?
Unable to verify account name or password
What does “unable to verify account” in yellow triangle with @ sign mean on Mac?
Unable to Verify account on new MacBook Air
