Yahoo e-mail password incorrect

when trying to open my yahoo e-mail on my iphone I received the following message after prompting me to enter my password.
the user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect.
I also went into settings and tried to re-enter my password and got the same message....
I would appreciate any suggestions......
Thanks,
DP

I'm so happy that I'm not the only one. I'm from Malaysia and I have issues with Yahoo Mail for about 1 month already. Before this, Yahoo Push Mails used to be working perfectly, then all of a sudden, it's not pushing instantly anymore, it's like I got the push mail to my iPhone 4S about 2 hours at least after I received the mail. But then about 1 week ago, it seemed to be fine again, it pushes just almost instantly. Until yesterday night, around 12 midnight, I stopped receiving any mails to my iPhone. Well I can still check them on browsers but not anymore in the built in Mail app. Everytime I try to open the Mail app, i'll be prompted saying that the username and password is incorrect, bla bla bla... I've tried everything, deleting and adding back the mail account, reboot my iPhone, but non of them worked. Now, Apple or Yahoo, whoever held the responsibility should know that how important push mails are to us, we missed everything if it's not working. Please fix it soon... I love Apple and Yahoo, don't make me change my point of view.

Cannot get mail password incorrect?

Cannot get mail password incorrect even though I submit correct password?

I happened to stumble upon the answer. I would imagine a lot of other Gmail users are going to have this problem soon so here is the answer.
Gmail has just recently changed their security settings and they use what they're calling a "2-step verification" process. Because of this, certain apps like iOS Mail cannot verify passwords because they can't use the same process.
To fix this, Gmail now provides something called an "app specific password" that will be generated by Gmail and will allow iOS Mail to verify your Gmail account.
To set this up, go into your Gmail account settings on the Google website and click on privacy. Set up the 2-step verification process and it should be self explanatory from there.

Playbook keeps asking for my Yahoo e-mail password under new OS version...

So, I did the update, and now my Playbook constantly asks me for my Yahoo e-mail password. Not my hotmail password, not my work email password, just Yahoo. So ... wtf?

Delete the account, reboot your PlayBook and setup the problem account again. Hopefully this will help.

Yahoo e-mail password rejected

I've had my yahoo e-mail account set up and working with my BIS account for years. Today I received an e-mail "action required: update password". I haven't changed my Yahoo password. Then when I try to update the password on the BIS account, it won't accept it- says it's invalid. I can still sign in to my Yahoo account on the web, so I know the password is still good! Can anyone help me?

I have the same problem, or at least got the same message. I have been using the service successfully since december last with an old bberry 7290 and btinternet mail (provided by yahoo). I can access my email account fine from a web browser (but see below). I got the message at 20.32 pm yesterday (which interestingly may be about the same time as the previous correspondent if he / she in on EST which is 5 hours behind the UK). When I access the email set up command via the url on the yahoo site (blackberry.com/yahoo/mail) it first off names my account but then says it is invalid. If I try to delete, edit or validate it, or even add it again it says "ERROR the site cannot be accessed in this manner. Please use the URL or link provided by your service provider" - which I thought I was). A hint may be that I renewed my broadband service with BT just before I got this message. While trying to fix it today and re logging in to my email account it thanked me for renewing my service so I am wondering if somehow it cancelled and renewed something and screwed it up)
any help gratefully received.

Yahoo E-Mail Password

All,
I used BlackBerry Bridge successfully to access my Yahoo and Gmail accounts prior to the OS 2.0 release. After installing the OS 2.0 upgrade, I set up my Yahoo and Gmail accounts directly on the PlayBook. During the past two weeks, while Gmail remains stable, I find Yahoo loses its server connection and the Playbook constantly calls for the password to be re-input, sometimes several times while I am using it.
I am not using "In Private" browsing, as was suggested be disabled in another thread.
I'm stumped. The BBBridge was fine for me, however now I am spoiled by having internet e-mail directly on the Playbook. Any thoughts?
Regards,
Office_BB_Guru

remove the yahoo account and restart playbook
then add it back in and sii if it works better

Help re e-mail password

I changed my yahoo e-mail password, do I need to update the password on my ipod touch too? If I don't, will my ipod stop receiving my e-mails??

Perhaps you can help me. I just purchased an ipod touch and having a terrible problem with access to the i tunes account, and possible other things on the ipod.
It is complicated. When i try to access i tunes they say my password is not valid. When i change my password on the io pod, I can't get into the apple forums, and when i change the password again, i can;t get into the ipod i i itunes on the i pod.
it seems that changing one, disallows entry on the other and says that this password has been, or is being used.
The problem is, when i set up the i pod touch i used a password and a different e-mail address, and i pod does not recognize the original password i set up (whatever that was as they had me changing back and forth like a yo yo)
I think I need verbal advice from apple but don't know how to contact them, I do not have applecare for this device-is there anyway I can get their help?
Please someone help
Thanks

TS3899 Message keeps appearing " cannot get mail, ID or password incorrect" but getting email just fine

I recently upgraded to IOS 5, as well as connected to a cable network instead of dsl, updated iTunes and sync'd my iPad to my Windows XL and got on board with iCloud. Now I keep getting a message that says, " cannot get mail, user ID or password incorrect" with options of choosing OK or going to settings. If I choose the settings, it brings me to account info with my email address and password ( dots) Then if I erase the password and put it back in, it says it's incorrect and if I save it, I may not receive or send mail. If I go directly to my account from the settings icon, and erase my password there instead, and then re- enter it, then it verifies it. Regardless of anything I do, the same message keeps popping up and is very annoying, as well as interrupting. What's wrong, please?

Thanks for answering, but I should've clarified... The message keeps popping up every couple of minutes. Sometimes as soon as I click OK, it comes back again. I tried deleting the account and re-entering it again, but that didn't work. I tried resetting my iPad by holding both the on and the off switch down until the apple appears...still no help. I went to my PC, and logged into my account and viewed my email without any problem. Is this a problem with my iPad or Yahoo? I called a Yahoo line, and was told I had reached the wrong extension, since it was a line for technical assistance only, and then he hung up. What can I do next?

Try deleting the account on your phone, turn your phone off, then back on & re-creating the account.

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

Do you have an Exchange account through your place of employment? Quite often the administrator or IT person will set up passcodes for devices that have employer exchange email accounts on them. If your account is work related, check with your employer for the code.
