Generate App Pasword

I have been trying to generate an app password for Outlook Desktop but there is no drop down for apps and when I manually enter Outlook Desktop I get the message:

Sorry, this feature is not available at present.

This is fine but I have been trying now for 2 days and still no joy.

Can you help? Please send a response to mark_britton@sky.com.

Many thanks

    I've been struggling for months to reconnect Outlook to Yahoo via POP/IMAP after a stupidly removed the App Password trying to fix another issue. The AP works for my phone (created a couple of years ago) but no longer for my laptop.

    There are thousands of comments below this one and the help (https://uk.help.yahoo.com/kb/account/generate-manage-third-party-passwords-sln15241.html) still tells us what to do, but it continues to say that "This feature is unavailable at present". I've been subscribed to Yahoo since the mid-1990s so please do the decent thing and either reinstate this feature or change the help to tell us that this will not be reinstated.

    Thanks

    I called yesterday and was told it may work in a month, and to keep trying. This is a joke.

    it's been 3 wks and no fix!!!
    may just have to drop yahoo all together...

    Spoke with their help desk, eventually. Apparently the eta for a fix is in "one week" - ie October 22, 2022. Dont hold your breath waiting.

    This situation is totally unacceptable from Yahoo. When is the situation, or a work around going to be made available?

  • James Garner commented  ·   ·  Report

    It has been down for over 4 months with no ETA to be fixed. At this point I am considering moving platforms and dropping Yahoo all together.
