That message suggests a password problem. Perhaps you mistyped it?

Are you posting because you have the same problem as the original poster?

Yahoo requires you to go to setup a special password for any non-Yahoo email app if the app does not support the new Yahoo security system (most email apps do not support it).

Using a web browser, go to Yahoo.com, access your account settings, see the security section.
