I have noticed that Yahoo now assigns you only one generated app password for all computers you setup. Before it was for every install of Outlook. The app generator should work again if you deleted Outlook as an approved app. You can copy and use your app generated password on another install of Outlook. If not delete Outlook authorization from Yahoo and the app generator should work.

There is a way for you to find the one that has been working for Outlook. Just copy and continue to use it.

OMG How!!?? I have tried everything and I simply cannot generate an app password. Mac user.
