You still need to tell us how you are accessing Yahoo email. Are you using:
  • Web browser using the yahoo.com URL?
  • Yahoo email client (a separate program you downloaded)? Such as: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN9127.html
  • Another email client (such as iOS Mail on the iPad or Thunderbird on the PC)?
Yahoo changed their security arrangements several months ago. Be sure to read the links I gave earlier and these:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html

Every Yahoo account has a master password. You use this password to log into the Yahoo.com website. Click the email icon at the upper right and enter your email address and master password. Depending on how you are using your iPad, you may use an application specific password on it. In other words, it's quite possible that you will need to use different passwords on the iPad and in Windows. It all depends on how your have your account set up (2-factor authentication, etc.) and the type of access (web browser, Yahoo client, third party client).
