Why can't I access my Yahoo account after I changed Password

[Windows Central Question]

I changed my Yahoo Account password for my computer. Since then I have not been able to loggin using my Lumia 520. Earlier on it had been set to directly receive my yahoo emails. Please help!

Hi, I'm not sure what troubleshooting you have tried.
My first suggestion is to soft reset your phone and try to sync your mail again. You may get prompted to change your password.

I am having the same issue on my L950. It keeps saying "the account requires attention". I go in, login again with my credentials. My email will work for a brief period of time (for the initial synch), then it does the same thing over...and over...and over.
