When I opened the app, I thought I will easily find the option I needed, which was not the case.

I turned to Google and I noticed that many people asking the same question: How do I change my Gmail password?

This guide is for both: Android and iOS devices, which means you can use it on your Android phone or tablet, iPhone or iPad. So, let’s get started.
