Solution

In the context with this error, we gave him some solutions which proved helpful to him and finally, he was able to login successfully with his Yahoo Account into our software.

Tip 1- Rectify Your Credentials

It often happens that a user enters the credentials of another email account and therefore this error occurs. So before entering the credentials, you must make sure that you are typing the correct credentials which are related to the same email application. You must also enter the accurate email Address and don’t forget any character either from the email Address or password. If any character is missed out from the Email or Password then the software will show invalid credentials.

Tip 2- Disable Two-Step Verification

  • Login your Yahoo Mail Account from the official Website.
  • Go to Account Security option.

  • Disable Two-Step Verification option.
