Keeps asking for my accounts password

[lorenzoscott78]

Since I upgraded to the 8.1 every two days or so I get a message that I have to re-enter my email for yahoo, my gmail, and my wifi password. Is anyone have had this happen and do we know why it keeps happening?

Is there a work around

interesting, I've experienced this a few times with my yahoo mail account...not sure what's causing this, however it has happened several times since I've moved to WP8.1.

My Yahoo! account is doing the same thing.

not sure as to why it is happening. i thought at first it was down to my phone requesting email too frequently and yahoo's mail servers locking down the account until i re-entered my credentials. but the longer this has gone on for the less i am convinced by this.

i think i get prompted at least once a day.

How often does your phone check for messages on the yahoo account?

There's no definite time between requests for password/authentication....it can be a couple of times a day or once every two or three days. I was wondering if it was linked to the fact that I am using Outlook on my laptop to connect to my yahoo mail, but can't see why it would happen with such irregularity.
