Upgraded phone - cannot log into emails

[Susmartin]

When I upgraded phone I was unable to log onto emails via the email app only via virgin media. This is no good as doesn't have folders I set up.

Called VM who were unable to help but reset password?

Can anyone help?

@Susmartin By trying to setup the email address on a new phone app you may have triggered the VM requirement to create an app generated password for use with the email app on your phone.

When you follow the instructions to do this you will probably be asked to change the username for the email account to a third party email address as part of the VM version of two factor authentication.
