Permission for yahoo account (Doesn´t work)

[Pedrin77]

Good afternoon I have problems and it is that it does not allow me to give permissions to a yahoo account and it automatically opens the web page instead of in email format.

Thanks

Yahoo keeps screwing around with there email making it more difficult to allow third party email apps (because they want you to use the Yahoo email app). I believe there is a way to allow third party apps but I can't remember how or else you have to set an app password.

Setting an app password will work but I would advise making a AquaMail backup after that.
