How can I change my password on EL Capitan mail 9.2

I'm under El Capitan and using Mail to get to my iCloud and Yahoo mail.  And the account settings no longer has a field "password".  It does not exist in the e-mail settings, or internet preferences.  Where can I find the place to update and change my password for my iCloud email and my Yahoo email for messaging 9.2 El Capitan running?  Help, please.  Thank you.  I don't understand why the field of password feature is not included in all aspects of establishing an email account in account preferences.  It should be so simple - as it was yesterday before the upgrade to the top of El Capitan.

To change the password in El Capitan Mail 9.2, you could do a little weird way:

Mail / preferences / accounts / Account Information / Server outgoing (SMTP) mail / change the list of SMTP servers / (choose the account you want to update), at the bottom of the window:

User name:...

Password:...

It's viable work around me for my Gmail accounts. I hope it help you too!

    • How can I change the outgoing in El Capitan mail port settings?

      My internet service provider recently changed the messaging port coming out (IMAP). How do I change this setting? I can receive messages but not send it. I can send email from the provider's Web site. It's already happened and usually I can send emails for several days. I changed the port settings in the past, but did not figure how to do it since the upgrade to El Capitan.

      If you know where to put the port, but it is not enabled, uncheck the box marked automatically detect and manage settings. Then, you should be able to change the port.

      The outgoing port will be in the SMTP settings. Each account has a configuration which you can access by selecting Edit from the context menu of SMTP.

    • I changed my password of gmail e-mail. How can I change the password used by Thunderbird to connect to gmail.

      I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.

      Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.

      The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
      Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwords

      Admittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
      Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
      MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.

      You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

      How can I change my password for purchases?

      IF you are referring to your password for your AppleID, then you can go to this page; https://appleid.Apple.com/

      Once there, you want to go to the Security section. Then, you click on change password. Then enter your current password, and then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Then click on change password. We'll then spend your AppleID password. If it is the password you speak when you try to download apps.

      IF you are referring to him requesting a digital password or one that is your telephone access code, simpally change your password in the phone.

      I hope this has helped! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

      Have a great rest of your day!

    • How can I change the password for wifi on Apple TV 4?

      I changed my password for wifi and when I go into settings wifi on Apple TV, the network is there, but when I click on the name of the network, nothing happens.  He asks me the password.  It was a half hour and it still does nothing.  I tried to do a system restart and still nothing.  How can I change the password so I can reconnect to my network?  Is there a way to tell him to forget the network as on my iPad and iPhone?

      (btw, I changed the password to "*".)  I feel like the punchline of a cosmic joke.   )

      Do a reset.

      Also, not a good idea to post your password on a public forum

Thanks :)  WeigeSS

      Go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and copy your IP address. Then open a webbrowser and paste the IP copied into the address bar. You must now enter your username and password (most often, it is not a WiFi password, but that this service provider you have given - it could be written on the contract or manual). Now, everything depends on what type of router you have. Usually, there is a security link or password somewhere on the screen. Click on it and then you can change the password.
