How to Generate a Third-Party App Password for Yahoo Mail

App passwords are special codes that allow older apps or devices to sign in to your Yahoo Mail account when Two-Step Verification (2SV) is enabled. They are only required if the application does not support the “Sign in with Yahoo” option. To generate an app password, you must have an active Yahoo account with Two-Step Verification enabled. These passwords are mainly needed for older applications such as Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and certain mobile email apps that do not support OAuth login.
