    Yahoo mail one day stopped coming through to Outlook. I am unable to generate a password to remedy this. Have been trying for 2 weeks.

    Still not fixed for almost a year. What's going on with Yahoo?

    It looks like the earliest comment in this thread is from Oct 2022. It is ridiculous that Yahoo will not fix the app password generation issue. I recommend you do what I did, vote with your feet and move off of Yahoo Mail.

    As a paying customer for many years I have now stopped paying Yahoo as the email can no longer be received using Outlook and my mobile device doesn't support the new app due to being an older model.
    Seems like I need to either loose business as I can not reliably receive emails or spend a small fortune to change all my webpages, business literature, etc. or buy a new phone if I wish to have an email account using Yahoo Mail
    I have lost about 40 bookings in a week because I am unable to reply to online contacts due to the lack of ability of Yahoo to support their own features so will take my business elsewhere.

    very annoying yahoo. please fix

  • Riaan Roux commented  ·   ·  Report

    This has been broken since October 10 2022.
    Is it time to abandon Yahoo?
    Has Yahoo now sunk?

    Yahoo. Please fix this App Password Generator issue. You are holding us *******! Not very good business!

  • Scott K commented  ·   ·  Report

    yes, I can't set up my yahoo mail on my outlook desktop app.
    Yahoo says "if this is not successful, there may not be a workaround; as we don't know if or when this feature will be available, we encourage you to use Webmail or the Yahoo Mail app to access your email."

    and "Due to some recent changes designed to improve the safety of our platforms and member privacy, we’ve made the process to create App Specific Passwords more secure. This can result in some difficulty when trying to set up an ASP from a new device."

    My ability to obtain my email using Outlook is not possible without your app password generator working. You need to fix this or provide an alternative way to obtain my yahoo email using Outlook.

    Broken since October 2022. They're not going to fix it.
    @ Don Morris summed it up nicely ...

    Your only choice is to leave Yahoo.
    I guess this is the corporate way of reducing costs by reducing customers.
