When will the "Generate App Password" feature be fixed?

All of a sudden the App(lication) password feature stopped working. What are your plans to get it working again ?

    Is this ever going to be fixed? I had money in an acct app and can't get to it until I get the app "approval" from yahoo, which obviously they still haven't fixed this for months. It was working fine and suddenly stopped and disconnected my email from that acct which really makes me mad. If they can't fix the app password then they need to allow us to be able to use our email on things instead of holding it "*******"

    Yahoo has stopped to new lows. I had to fix my Outlook client today and got the nasty surprise that the App password generator is no longer working. It still works on my laptop but my desktop is hosed. Can't believe how many hours wasted to find out that it's Yahoo. No wonder they're laying off 20%. I stopped using them years ago for my main email since there were always issues receiving emails with attachments. Good Bye Felicia!

    I log in to the yahoo account, enter the account information and it cannot generate the password for windows mail. It tells me "sorry this features its not available right now"

    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

    Please find a solution ASAP to be able to access the yahoo eMail account via Outlook. The level of agravation is already high, as seen by the other posts below. Thank you,

    This is really poor guys!! if you don't some kind of commitment to this I will go out of my way to review your service as being totally inept. I have had a yahoo mail address for 10 years and need to use it with outlook. if I have to go through the trouble of setting up a new mail address I will never use your services EVER again. I would be prepared to pay for this to be reinstated. we have had no communication from you as to whether it will ever be revisited. really poor service! sort it out or tell us otherwise. Its not a security flaw, it is just a ridiculous way to treat people who use your service. Anyone reading this, do not set up a yahoo mail address as you cannot trust this company to uphold basic values. Go elsewhere. I am not a fan of google or microsoft, i thought Yahoo was better than this but am sadly disappointed.

    Like all here, I am bemused at the approach of Yahoo. Support saying yesterday when called that it may work in a month, keep trying, but recommend using the web. Just trying to get rid of the call. If it is a policy decision, have the guts to say so.

    Time to move away from Yahoo.
