When I go into mail, I am getting an error message. Authenticationfailure.
Authenticate invalid credentials.
I’m not aware of changing anything. It Worked yesterday.
I’ve tried to find an answer on the internet with no success. Can someone please help me fix my email? Thank you.

What did Yahoo support say when you reported the problem to them?
Your phone isn't rejecting your credentials, yahoo's servers are.
Apps>Mail>Mail Accounts>Tap on the Mail Account. The top one "Mail" is what I believe the person is refering to as the Slider. Better known as Toggle Switch.

no emails since last update and there is an error code that says "Authentication failed"
Not an Apple or iphone issue, since your email provider can't authenticate your account.

Apple doesn't authenticate your mail unless you're using icloud. OP made no mention of what email provider they are using.
So Apple doesn't authenticate gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc you know who does, that right those email providers authenticate their own system.
IF you have no clue what you're talking, then don't respond at all.
You've provided nothing in this thread.

Yahoo needs to authenticate you not Apple.
If Yahoo can't do it, then I guess you can't use yahoo find another email provider.
This worked! And me and technology have a rocky relationship. I’ve been locked out of email since 4/2. The advice of “queenbeefastliveslow” didn’t work on its own i had to shut down the phone for a couple of minutes then all those emails started flooding in. Good luck.

My Apple ID is locked so I’m not able to access my mails and photos kindly assist.
What did you do to resolve the problem?
No, Yahoo, my email providor cannot fix this. Why would you suggest that?
how do I correct for Authentication Failure for Mail on iPhone
Yup, "your email provider can fix your issue, contact them" is still the wrong answer.
