That is a new development. You are so rude. I posted what works for me, to help others. If it didnt work for you, then that is your situation. it worked for me. You make helping others very unappealing. Who would want to help someone when the reaction is like yours. UGH!
Response from Yahoo.....
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Yahoo Customer Care
I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to generate app passwords.
We're very sorry app passwords are unavailable for your account. We don't have an exact ETA on when this will return, but we encourage you to check back in the near future. Rest assured, you can still access your mail from the Yahoo Mail app or via a web browser. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

What are you talking about? Dont follow the advice to call Yahoo Help???? You are clearly doing something incorrectly. Why dont you call them for help!
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!
I did and I have now lost access to my Outlook, so thank you very much!
Its located in Yahoo! account setting, not Yahoo! mail settings. Dumb, I know. It took me forever to find that.
