I can no longer access my yahoo account from my Windows Nokia Lumina phone.

I have tried deleting and reloading yahoo but it will not accept my old or my new password. All it says is "Attention required" then asks for my password, which is rejected. No emails have loaded for 10 days now.
I have had this phone 2 years now and have never had problems with my emails before.:unhappysweat:

There was a big yahoo iussue last days, trhe site was hacked then restored (it was on all newpapers). You must use a pc for getting back control of it with the double code check

Yes, I have done that, I can access my emails OK on my laptop and I-pad, it's just the phone I can't get it on.

Just log in to your Yahoo account on a laptop or PC. Then in Yahoo go to 'Account Info' and click on the tab 'Account Security' on the left side. The setting 'Allow apps that use less secure sign in' must be switched on to let other apps (then from Yahoo, like Outlook on your phone) access your Yahoo mail account on other devices like your tablet or your phone.
