Why does my email account keep asking me for my password? Signing back in with your password should fix the problem. If you get Gmail through the Mac’s Mail app and the program is having a problem, the Internet Accounts box from the System Preferences often pops up to ask for the password in order to reconnect the Mail program with the Gmail server.

Why is Macos asking for my Google password? Your Apple ID account is separate from your Gmail account, even if you are using your Gmail email address as your Apple ID email.

This is a user preference, and there would be no way for anyone else to know what you set your password as.

Is my Google password the same as my Apple password? For example, if you’re using Google’s two-step verification, your Gmail account in Mail requires the appropriate app-specific password. Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons.
