  • My email password is not accepted anymore since I had downloaded the yahoo mail app. I was getting 2 emails from same address but one account keeps prompting me to enter my password and won't load my mail from the day I downloaded yahoo app. I removed my email account and now when I try to add it back it won't accept my password to manually add it. Also it won't prompt me to a page to log in differently or offer to let me change my password. I want the new yahoo mail on my home page but not the app which I removed. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
