By clicking the "show password" button I learnt that it is only alphabet part of an incomplete sentence. I was tempted to change my Yahoo a/c Password by "Copy & Pasting" the one incorporated in "Mail" App. There is no "Manage App Password" as mentioned in "Yahoo User Forum". However, it provides only a ON/OFF toggle for "Allow apps that use less secure signature". I do have two-step/two-factor authentication on my Yahoo a/c.

Have you tried deleting the Yahoo email account?I am able to log in to my Yahoo a/c through a Browser(Edge/IE).

Afaik the extra ** are just to disguise the length of the password & not reflective of the actual password.ĭo you have any two-step/two-factor authentication on your Yahoo account? If so then you may require an app specific password to enter instead of your usual Yahoo password.
