Thunderbird doesn't recognize a valid yahoo email password. How to fix it?

Suddenly, I cannot login to my yahoo email account within Thunderbird using my password. I CAN, however, login to yahoo mail outside of Thunderbird with this same password. I restarted Thunderbird several times, rebooted the computer, but nothing helped. Other email accounts (comcast and gmail) within Thunderbird work fine. I will appreciate any help to resolve this, because this is my main email account. THANKS!

In case you did not notice the dozen or so threads just like yours, Yahoo is a problem right now.
