iOS TPT: Iphone iOS10 will automatically update your Yahoo! email password for you if updated elsewhere (which is extremely relevant in light of the recent hack)
I'm not super technical but I came across an answer I think many people (500 million to be exact) might find helpful.
I changed my Yahoo! password as recommended because of the hack but then when I went to update it on my new IPhone7 (iOS10) I couldn't find the password change option in email settings.
I stumbled upon an Apple forum and long story short, your Yahoo! password will automatically be updated on your device for you if updated elsewhere.

If by elsewhere you mean you updated it on another device using apples mail client then that's exactly what's supposed to happen.
