My connected email account's password changed. How do I change it in JSM?

Hi Drew!

If your email account password has changed, you’ll need to update the credentials in the email channel configuration inside Jira Service Management so that incoming requests keep flowing. Here’s how:

1. Go to your project settings in JSM.

2. Under Channels, select Email requests.

3. Locate the connected email account you’re using.

4. Edit the connection details and update the password (or re-authenticate if it’s OAuth-based, like Gmail/Outlook).

5. Save and test the connection to make sure new requests come in properly.

If you’re using Gmail or Outlook, Atlassian recommends OAuth instead of basic passwords — that way you don’t need to worry about password changes breaking the integration.

Once you update the connection, everything should work as before.

Hope that helps! If so, please, upvote my answer. Best! 🚀
