All apple mail accounts are offline

Everything was working fine until I downloaded and started using Xfinity email. Now all my apple accounts are off-line and I get "unable to verify account name or password" when I try to get them back online. HELP!

Yahoo App password…

Generate and manage third-party app passwords

Some older, third-party email apps (that do not use our Yahoo branded sign in page) require you to enter a single password for login credentials. To access your Yahoo Mail account on these apps, you'll need to generate and use an app password. An app password is a long, randomly generated code that gives a non-Yahoo app permission to access your Yahoo account. You’ll only need to provide this code once to sign in to your third-party email app.
