Cannot send mail on iPad and iPhone

Started receiving a message box on iPad and iPhone:

Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:{edited for privacy}@smtp.verizon.net" is incorrect.

Can receive mail fine on iPad / iPhone and can send/receive mail fine on home PC or from the web.

To my knowledge, no settings have been changed on either device.

Donot bother calling.  I was on the phone with support.  They said it is the phone and not them and could not help.

This problem occurred for me after I changed my password when I was on the Verizon site.  When I went back to my Iphone it prompted me to change my password in settings.  I did that.  Incoming started working but Outgoing still would not work.  I did not realize that you have to type the updated password in both the incoming and the outgoing email.  After I updated the settings for outgoing, it worked.
