To be honest, not sure if this is even support by HA... Maybe some of the devs can answer this.

As a workaround, you could edit config/.storage/core.config_entries, search for bmw_connected_drive and update your password there. Make sure to take a backup of that file before and that it is still a valid JSON after your edit.
Then restart HA and the integration should work again.

Re-auth flow is supported by HA but has to be implemented by the integration. https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/config_entries_config_flow_handler/#reauthentication this would need to be added to this integration.

Yeah, this did the trick. Thank you.
But would be nice to see if "Re-Auth" can be easily integrated like @cdnninja mentioned

Les funciona BMW connected? llevo meses que me ha dejado de funcionar

Solved with work around. Implementing the reauth seems to require extensive nchanges to the library as well which I don't have time for right now.
