Sorry Virginia, but nothing sems to be working. When going into it I did already have the 2 step verification and they emailed me with code to get into the account to get to the security page and had to change password again done only 2 days ago, but see no problems there. Why would I need a generate a third party password to get into the main app that came with computer, when it was working fine two days ago.

Sorry, I am quite new to these problems, to be honest a lot frustrating. I do not know if this email address concerned has this two step authentication, also no idea or how I would find out if I have less secure apps to access. Where would I also find an app specific password, other than mine of course.
If the account is Yahoo then it’s likely this is the problem:

There doesn’t seem to be any allow less secure apps to access the account so the above solutions are required.

my yahoo acount asked me yesterday that I needed to fix the account. After trying endless times since, it keeps giving me the same error code Ox8019019a with no expanation after putting in my correct email address and password. I need to know how I can fix please.
You may require an app specific password if the account uses -step authentication. If not then you’ll need to turn on ‘allow less secure apps to access your account’.
