Yahoo Email Authentication Failed I cannot get my email to work on my iMac. It works fine on my iPhone and iPad Pro. I have been trying since August to get resolved. I think it started when I changed a password on a Yahoo app, necessitating an update on my devices. I've read through threads on this community and still cannot get it to work. I created a secure mail key on AT&T ( they are the email access with Yahoo for me) and applied that in the password section of Apple mail under create a new account but it failed. Previous posts led to suggestions to go to Yahoo, and they send me back to Apple. Any suggestions would be appreciated .

I have a yahoo att mail account that works on web login and on iphone mail, but the mail app on Macbook will not authenticate the password Hello all, I have a yahoo att mail account that works on web login and on iphone mail after changing the password, but now the mail app on Macbook Pro will not authenticate the password. There doesn't seem to be any way to change the password on the Macbook as far as I can see. I also can't remove the account and re-add, because the message box only gives me options to either remove account from all devices, or de-activate it. I'm not sure what to do now and would really appreciate someone's help. Thank you very much! Tod
