Gmail allows you to change your account password from all your devices, including your iPhone. If you suspect you’ve been hacked, or just want to use a more secure password, change it with the iPhone Gmail app.
Then, once you’ve changed your password, you’ll need to use the new password to sign in to Gmail (Google) on all your other devices. Also, if you haven’t chosen a new password yet, check out our guide on creating and remembering strong passwords.
Note: You will need to know your current password to change it. If you’ve completely forgotten your Gmail password, it’s easy to recover it as long as you have access to its recovery options.

Update your Gmail password on an iPhone
To start the password change process, launch the Gmail app on your iPhone. Then, in the top right corner of Gmail, tap on your Google profile picture.
In your profile menu, select “Manage your Google account.”
On the “Google Account” screen, from the list of tabs at the top, choose the “Security” tab.
In the “Sign in to Google” section, select “Password.”
Type in your current password and tap “Next.”
On the new password page, tap the “New Password” field and type in your newly generated password. Then enter the same password in the “Confirm new password” field.
Then tap “Change Password”.
You will see a success message indicating that your Gmail account password has been changed successfully. And that’s all there is to it.
The safest way to store your new password is with a password manager, so check out our recommendations for the best password managers out there.
