I guess probably you have enabled two-step verification for extra security on Yahoo! Mail.


In that case you need app specific password for iOS mail app.


Watch the GIF below for generating and using app specific Yahoo password on iOS mail app. On other Yahoo app and on a web browser you do not require to generate this app specific password
