why can i not login to my email on android devices but I can on my computer.

[Android Central Question]

My email just stopped syncing and when I tried to open the app it asked for my password. I typed my password in but it said authentification failed. I know it is the right password.
So I tried to reset it via the Internet because my phone email app won't log out.
I reset my password twice and neither of these worked. I have reset it again and that password works on the computer but not my phone or tablet.
I have tried restarting the phone.
I have also tried removing the account and setting up a new one but it will not accept the password.
Please could you help?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone, which email app, and which email provider? If your email provider is using 2-factor authentication, you might have to enter an app password instead (like with Yahoo: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html).
