Cant connect to yahoo mail Android MM

[rronald25]

Hi All,
I have a problem.
Suddenly I cannot access my yahoo mail on android device
it says "problem with account setup, Username or password is incorrect"
I have not change the password in few weeks and when I check at my laptop, the password stays the same, but I cant use my password for mobile.
For the email server it is default android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
port 993
security ssl/tls
imap path prefix optional
Thanks

Yahoo is redoing everything. They got hacked in 2014 and are now requiring new security logins, etc.

You might want to log in on a computer, fix your security, then try the phone.

nothing wrong with pc login, and I also downloaded yahoo mail app, the password works.
Its just that I hate to have many apps on my mobile, so if possible id like to keep on using yahoo mail under android default mail app
