Tbird/yahoo authentication problem EDGE Too many requests (bug1997062)

Email problem. Old Lenovo Desktop, Window 8.0 (I know, I know, but it's my wife's and all she uses it for is email and utube recipes, and she's used to it). I use it for some banking, mainly because the printer is on it. Tbird 115.18.0 (32 bit) -says it's up to date AVG antivirus free

Email through yahoo. It worked fine until, going by the last date it linked email, 10/30/25 at 06:45AM MST When I tried to download new messages Sunday 11/2, it failed.

It pops up a new window "Enter credentials for bababarb@yahoo.com on imap.mail.yahoo.com" In the address window is "https://login.yahoo.com/?src=thunderbird&client_id=(about a zillion characters) Then, in the message window is "Edge: Too many requests"

So, I did the troubleshooting as in Help article. I logged in on the webmail, signed in with the password, and was able to see the messages, many from after the 30th (she gets a ton of sorta spam).

Looking under Account setting> server settings, I find that the security is set to SSL/TLS and Authentication is set to OAuth2. Incidentally, these were set automatically when I set this to a yahoo.com address.

So, I try setting the Authentication to Password and request mail. I get a popup asking for the password. I enter it (the same password I used on webmail) and it replies "Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com with username bababarb@yahoo.com failed."

Following suggestions on the help article, I got to Settings, and check "saved passwords". Then, again following the suggestions, I remove the yahoo password entry. According to the article, the next login attempt should ask for a password. It does not. I just get the "too many requests" popup. What the hell, I go back and remove the SMTP password, too. Same result.

Anybody else having this issue? Any suggestions?

I was successful by creating app password at yahoo.com and setting authentication to 'normal password' . See if that works for you

How it was resolved: I have no idea. I tried the suggestions including trying "normal password" but nothing worked. We were reduced to using Yahoo's web based email. Finally, yesterday, I tried again to use Tbird, and low and behold, I get a request to "Login to Yahoo". I try, and it tells me that my password is incorrect.BTW, this is the identical password that I have been using to login to webmail - which has been working - but it doesn't like it. I request a new password, and we go through the authentication routine using her phone number, and viola, Oauth works and Tbird is filled with the usual: lotsa crap and an occasional real (a communication from a person) email. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, but it appears that, as david said, it was an entirely Yahoo problem that they finally fixed.
