Mail settings keeps saying my password is incorrect

I am trying to access one of my email accounts on my phone. I tried entering my password, but it told me that my password is incorrect. I even went to Yahoo on my computer and reset my password just in case I forgot it, but even when I put in the new password, it says that my password is incorrect. What gives? Why won't it recognize my password even when I enter it correctly?

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.1.3
