I've recently set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22.2 and was unable to sign into Yahoo so I tried to sign in with Firefox instead and had the same errors :-
Something went wrong
We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device.
OR
We couldn’t sign you in
Change your browser settings to continue. Try the following:
Turn off ad blockers
Enable JavaScript
If you still can’t sign in, try a different device.
I can sign in with Chrome without any problems on the same workstation.
Firefox version :- 147.0.4 (64-bit)
Only Extension is Privacy Badger, but this is disabled for Yahoo.com
Thunderbird version :- 148.0 (64-bit)
No extensions - as installed from Thunderbird download site
I'm not having any issues signing into any other websites / email accounts (Google, Hotmail).
I notice on the support website :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo
it says "Starting with version 148, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure authorization protocol PKCE for Yahoo"
BUT this isn't offered in the list of Authentication methods, has PKCE been delayed? Currently using OAuth2 for Thunderbird
