Yahoo turned off the function and I suspect they are trying to force us into the Yahoo mail browser and paid Yahoo + ...everyone is going nuts. I've used my yahoo in Outlook for 27 years...time to change!

Hi,
App passwords are currently unavailable for all Yahoo Mail users. As you can see it on Yahoo's feedback page, a lot of people are complaining about this problem.
Yahoo provided an answer on June 1, 2022 which is:
We’re very sorry app passwords are currently unavailable for Yahoo Mail accounts. Rest assured, you can still access your mail from the Yahoo Mail app or via a web browser. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
The problem isn't new, and unfortunately, there's still no solution at this time.

[...] 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. Please ensure that you try creating an app password without using an Incognito browser and use a browser where you have signed into that account in the past, for at least a couple of days. 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. [...]

@Antonio
What app name did you use?
Maybe that is what made it work.
I was able to generate a password on an old yahoo account using 'Outlook' as the app name, but was not able to generate a password on a newer Yahoo account using the same browser, web page and name.
I had the same problem.
I took my iPhone and tried on the yahoo mail app, generate new app password and it worked!
I don't know whether I was just lucky or what.
Hope that it works for you.

Ask a questionI had an issue and lost my app password (for Outlook Desktop) on 19 Jan 2023, and like many I could not get a new app password. Yahoo support rep. told me that the function would be repaired after 48 hours. I have been checking every few days, and last checked Monday or Tuesday this week. Every time I received the "function not available" message shown below.
Finally this morning I WAS able to generate the app password that I needed.
Outlook is now receiving all my yahoo mail again.

Hi there,
I had been trying twice a week since October until Christmas. I decided to try again this evening. It worked!!! I have not got Outlook accessing Yahoo just like it used to.
I just used Outlook Desktop as usual but this time it worked.
