Cannot setup Thunderbird for my @prodigy.net email account, which goes through Yahoo.com and at&t
I reset my Windows10 computer last week, reinstalled Thunderbird and got it to work as POP3 for about 5 days, but now it won't connect to my e-mail account (@prodigy.net), which I normally access through Yahoo Mail. Then on Wednesday, it just stopped working.
Last week I had to enter a passkey in as the password, but it still needed to be set as a "Normal Password". This week I have tried the same passkey as "Normal Password" which doesn't work. I tried using the passkey but specifying "OAuth2", and it doesn't work. I have tried the "Normal Password" with the password I use to get to the Yahoo Mail account on line, and it doesn't work either.
The message I get is "Authentication error" and "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuaration, username or password." So, I thought I might change the passkey, but now I cannot FIND how to change, remove or create a passkey. Not at Yahoo.com nor at att.com. Can you help me? Thanks, Deb Fisher

Please describe in detail the steps you did to set up the account in Thunderbird. Did you use the Thunderbird Account Hub with automatic account setup, or manual configuration?
Last week I had to enter a passkey in as the password
How exactly did you create the passkey? Thunderbird doesn't support passkeys, so this can only be done in a web browser.
This week I have tried the same passkey as "Normal Password"
Please explain what that means. Passkeys and passwords are not the same thing, and are not interchangeable. https://www.passkeys.io/
I thought I might change the passkey, but now I cannot FIND how to change, remove or create a passkey.
You can create a passkey in your Yahoo Account Settings - Security. There is no point changing a passkey though. https://login.yahoo.com/account/personalinfo
For AT&T accounts you'll have to create a secure mail key. This is like an app password, but it isn't a passkey though. https://www.att.com/support/article/email-support/KM1240308/
Also, please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡, then select Help > Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.

Hi Chris-- I used manual configuration to create the account in Thunderbird. My husband uses Thunderbird (on his Windows11 desktop) and I copied his setting exactly. Except, when I entered my password, I tried both my regular password that I use to access my email in Yahoo Mail, and the passkey that I created last February. I created the passkey because I got a message from Mozilla saying I need to. I had created the passkey in Yahoo.com, but now when I log into Yahoo, the link to the passkey page isn't on my Profile page where it is supposed to be. I think this may be because my email address is a prodigy.net address, which is managed by at&t (in Yahoo Mail). When I go to Yahoo.com, my security page DOES NOT INCLUDE a link to "Create a passkey." When I go to at&t, my profile page does not include a link to "Create a secure mail key. If any of this makes sense to you, a thousand thank you's, Deb Fisher

As per your Troubleshooting Information, no AT&T account exists in your Thunderbird profile. So I have no idea what server settings you tried and how this is related to Yahoo.
See https://www.att.com/support/article/email-support/KM1010523/ for more information.
As stated before, AT&T require a secure mail key. https://www.att.com/support/article/email-support/KM1240308/
