Windows 10: e mail won't sync

One of my 3 att email accounts won't sync to the mail ap. It says I need to update password or give permission to sync. When I go to the account there are 16 dots in the password space. When I put in my real password it fails. Have deleted and reinstalled to no avail. Does this on all my computers. Works on ATT.net, so it is not an ATT problem
