To me, this looks like a Yahoo problem. In doing a web search, I see this question has been posted on many websites with other email clients. I was easily able to duplicate the problem.
Try this:
First, generate an app PW - see https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html.
Then 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 or 587 - Connection Security: SSL/TLS - Authentication method: Normal password
Finally, go to TB menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords - click the 'Saved Passwords' button and edit the Yahoo entry to add your new app PW
After that's done, try logging in.
