I keep getting an error. I have tried gmail and yahoo and they both give me this error. I am sure my password is correct. Anyone else having issues can help me out?

iOS Development with Swift Techdegree Graduate 11,421 PointsOne thing that worked for me was changing the security settings in yahoo. You need to turn on "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" Once that is done, you should be able to send the email without any issues. If it continues to not work, double check that you are using the proper email and password. Good Luck! -Joseph
