« on: April 26, 2021, 09:09:21 pm »
Hi,
i had to change my yahoo password.

Till then i can´t get my mails via auqa, Authencification failed

When i try to change my password in Aqua, the yahoo.API only let me into the yahoo mail webseite, but i cant change my password in the aquamail.
I even tried the onetime password. but in aqua i cann only get to the regular yahoo website.

You need to authorize AM by logging into your account on Yahoo and find 'authorize app' or something like that. It's under your account or privacy/security settings. It'll will generate a 16(?) character password that you paste into AM and you'll be good to go.

Hi,

1. Sign in and go to your Account security page.
https://login.yahoo.com/?done=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.yahoo.com%2Faccount%2Fsecurity%3F.scrumb%3D0&src=noSrc
2. Click Generate app password or Manage app passwords.
3. From the drop down > choose "Other app" > enter a custom name > tap / click Generate.
4. Follow the instructions below the password.
5. Click Done.
6. Use this app password and your email address to sign in Aqua Mail.

I suggest pinning this to the top of the "How Do I Section"
