If you have recently changed your Gmail password through a web browser and did not update the Mac’s Mail program, you may also see alert boxes asking for the password. (This would also be a good time to update and change your Google password: After you log into Gmail, go to for the password settings, and to configure two-step verification.) If you are concerned about your Mac’s security, log into your Gmail account on another computer or device to make sure your password still works.
