How can we improve New Mail?

← New Mail

Make App passowords available in Europe.

App passwords are not available. Settings page just says "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!"
How about you fix your service?

    My old PC used this gererator on July 6th, according to Yahoo but it will not let my new Laptop do the same.

    I might be a bit radical here but it is simple. Just make "Generate App Password" work!

  • Joseph Comaty commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm not a tech expert so I can't fix this issue. I expect Yahoo to be able to maintain its products without the user having to generate new passwords every few days. Also, that function is not available now. It makes Yahoo mail less than useful if it cannot be viewed through different email service providers like Outlook.

    I have a problem to create Yahoo account inside my Outlook 365 because app password cannot be generated. Yahoo states "this feature is not available right now". The same problem last for some time now. As I searched, this seems to be systematic issue with many users and Yahoo seems to be unwilling to solve this due to unknown reasons. There is also no easy way to contact yahoo support for free vie email, only payed telephone call which is absurd as well.

    App password complicates things and it doesn't even work. This is so lame and frustrating. Please fix it! everybody's complaining about this.

    In the Security settings, where it has a button for generate password to allow yahoo to work through POP3, my strong suggestion is .. make it work. 5 months of 'not available' is ridiculous.

    Way to add Yahoo Mail to Outlook. Cannot generate password - "Sorry, this feature is not available right now!"

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can you please fix this as my outlook will not work any longer - cannot generate an app password?

  • Matt Kauber commented  ·   ·  Report

    Have used my yahoo address for my business for 15 years. The app password is horrible. Needing a new password every 13 emailed invoices is terrible and time consuming and now today, it is not allowing me to generate app passwords at all which is not allowing me to invoice my customers. Error says "something went wrong, send again later." Going to switch to a better email server before next month billing.

    The 3rd party password generator displays error message: Sorry, this feature is not available right now!

    Add a button to click to inform Yahoo of the error. It's has not been working for over 1 week (Oct 9, 2022). Thanks for allowing us to provide feedback.

    I can't have my yahoo mail account on my outlook app on windows 10. Very frustrating. I am getting "Sorry, this feature is not available right now", when I click on generate password. It's been this way for weeks

  • Mark Warner commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop giving us that waffle and just fix it. You deliberately removed this option to force people onto your app. However the app is dreadful and is full of ads.
    Give the people what they want !

  • Charalampos Tsekis commented  ·   ·  Report

    My Outlook app on my phone is not premium because I used my yahoo email address to register my office account. The Yahoo app is not helping me to avoid ads on my outlook app. SORT THIS OUT.
    ALSO WHERE IS YOUR CUSTOMER SUPPORT!???????"?"?"?"?"?

  • Mark Warner commented  ·   ·  Report

    I absolutely agree. This function has been withdrawn without notice and all I get from Yahoo Support is weasel words. This is unacceptable and must be fixed ASAP and try using a less sly and unethical way to get people to use your app !

  • Mika Saastamoinen commented  ·   ·  Report

    When trying to generate a password, it blathers: "Unfortunately, this function is not available right now". I've been trying to create it for a long time now and always the same notification. When will the function be fixed so that I can connect Yahoo mail to my applications?

  • István Mezei commented  ·   ·  Report

    Sorry, this feature is not available at present.
    App password not work

  • AR Alarm commented  ·   ·  Report

    When I click "Generate password", I receive "Sorry, this feature is not available right now" error. It didn't work a few days ago and still doesn't work now. That looks like a bug. Do I miss anything? If this feature doesn't work, there is no reason to use your service for me.

    I have 2fa enabled, recovery email is set, etc. (not sure whether it's important or not).

    Thank you.
