I just received an email today alerting me that they're going to stop
supporting the current sign-in functionality for non-Yahoo applications
in a few weeks time. Has anyone else using Yahoo mail received a message
like this today?
I use TB (68.12.0) on a Mac with Yahoo accounts set up for fetching with
POP and sending with SMTP.
One of the options Yahoo gives is to continue using my non-Yahoo app,
but apparently I have to remove my account from the app, then add it
back again. Seems very strange to me. Does anyone know what to make of this?

Never mind. I found the solution explained all here, step by step on

this Mozilla support page:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo
It appears to be updated now, but I will need to wait until the 20th of
October (Yahoo will stop supporting the "old" sign-in method) to be sure.

instructions for Thunderbird at that time. On entering the Thunderbird
password on Thunderbird opening the Yahoo account is checked individually.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I already used the other method (Oauth2) for Thunderbird, but option #3
came in handy for my iPad as I don't see any Oauth2 option there.
It worked as explained in the link from Yahoo
(https://uk.help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/SLN15241.html?impressions=true)
but I'm a little confused... a password is generated at Yahoo's website
(the link above) but is this a password unique to that specific mail app
on my iPad?
And is there a way to change the password?
