First, generate an app PW - see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html.
Then go to TB menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords > click the 'Saved Passwords' button > remove the Yahoo entry
Next, go to TB menu > Account Settings > Server Settings and set the following:
- Server Name: export.imap.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 993 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password
On the left column, scroll down and click 'Outgoing Server' and edit the Yahoo entry:
- Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com - Port: 465 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password
After that's done, try logging in with your new app PW.
