Can't login to yahoo after password change

[matt55014]

Hi,
I had to change my yahoo password now I can't login to my yahoo mail from the stock email app that i was using or any of my other yahoo apps. When the login failed the first time I went to the settings and changed to my new password, logged in again, and still says unable to login. I can login fine from a computer. I am not a tech savy person. It is probably an easy fix but I have searched on here but nothing seems to be quite like my problem. Anyone have any ideas? Seems like it is a yahoo or droid problem?

Having exact issue with Galaxy Nexus. Changed Yahoo mail password this morning, now I can't login from stock e-mail app on Nexus. Constantly says username and password incorrect, but it isn't. I can login from PC with no problem, as well. Don't understand what's happening.

Fixed mine. On a computer, while signed into yahoo, click on your username in the upper left part of screen. A drop down box will appear...click account info. Under manage other accounts to sign in I had something about yahoo mail for android listed. I removed it and presto...my phone login worked.

(not on a Droid X, but Android and unable to use a new Yahoo password)

My new password was not working for Yahoo! email in my main email program. (Kaiten, a variant/fork of the "normal" email program)

I updated my Sending Email server settings password.
I updated my Receiving Email server settings password.
I could not use my new Yahoo email password. ("Incorrect username or password", I believe it said.)

I tweaked incoming and outgoing server password to no avail. Password incorrect when tested. After trying a couple password variations, I again set the password I believed was correct under both send and receive server settings, and even after it failed, I kept the settings.

I checked Yahoo (in my web browser on a PC) for "other accounts" but had none. (I couldn't use the new password on my Android browser either)
I logged in and logged out a few times (in the latest yahoo webmail from a PC) to confirm I was using the right password (I was).
So there were no "changes" made, but I did authenticate about 6 times in the process of verifying the password, and looking for an odd account to delete in the "account settings" found in the drop-down from the username.
I rebooted my Android phone (in this case a Samsung Captivate Glide running Kaiten email) and it was quite happy to receive and send Yahoo! email.

I guess the key may have been the Android reboot, as the old password may have been tried dozens of times by the email program before I realized it needed to be changed.

Erbid (this thread encouraged me to persist. I spent the extra time to poke around. But until I rebooted, it was still failing. Heck, it could have been a 30 minute time-out)

The same thing happened to me and I'm a "Yahoo Plus" subscriber. What I was told by Yahoo's tech support is that it can take a few hours for the password change to copy across all of their servers. I'm still not sure why their web service updates almost instantly while their IMAP service takes a lot longer. But apparently that is the case, because my cell started working about 4 hours later.

Last week I had to reset two Yahoo email account passwords due to the recent hack. Afterwords I could not get my Droid X stock email app to recognize the changed email accounts. I tried the new passwords, the old passwords, no luck. I tried deleting both accounts from my phone and setting them up again, no luck. I tried rebooting the phone, and even clearing the cache as a last resort. Nothing. All I get is that "Login to the account failed, please try again" messagebox. Based on the advice of a poster here I went on my laptop and checked the email settings for "Manage Other Accounts to Sign-in" and there's nothing. This has been going on for over a week now.

I'm angry and at my wit's end here. And to add insult to injury my iPod Touch accepted the password changes without as much as a hiccup.

Can anybody help me here?
