I'm using the latest of Outlook365. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide an option for an in-app walk through of two step verification. Ironically, I got that process to work in the Windows Mail app after several fails, under Win 10 Pro.
As of this AM, Yahoo still not generating the App P/W.
The app password generator does not work.

Been getting this for the last 5 days so i have to physically log into my account online to access email.
I have an app that lets me add all my email addresses yet it won't work because my email settings are not up to date.....and Yahoo won't let me bring them up to date.
I paid the $5 for tech support, and they logged into my computer to fix it. I’d try that.
How did they fix the issue? Did they. S mention what the exact problem is? In other posts, people are conplaining tech support was useless in spite of them being paying subscribers.
There are numerous instances that it works and doesn't work. In my case I have to use the code from another Windows computer. But no code was required for the Mac version. But another poster mentioned that he couldn't get it to work on his Mac. It's been a hit or miss for a lot of people. Thanks.
LMAO. Sorry. This problem has been going on for months. Not paying them to fix what they probably already know is the cause.
