Haven't had a chance to try it yet... won't have time for that for a few hours.

There is also a video online somewhere of this, but using the password generated under 'security' and 'app' does work on the Macbook too. I entered 'mail' as the app I was using.
Just tried Don's suggestion (Pixel, Android, Outlook). Like other folks, this DID work and I did not have to change the port for SMTP. Thanks, Don!

Thanks for the information. I have not received the final go email as yet but I am expecting very soon. I have multiples accounts; and use PC Windows Outlook 2019 (suite) and pop3 as primary email client management app.
I have read your notes and look at the web site describing the use of password generator and entering that password in the Outlook email setup repair screens. two follow up questions:
1 Is establishing "If Two-step verification isn't turned on, you'll need to do that before you continue. Then select Generate app password. " necessary before generating password? since this seems to be a challenging stet up, I am trying to use a basic KISS principle (keep it simple) and avoid any additional program scripts or authentication processes to this already delicate setup process. Your thoughts?
2 As I mentioned (for PC Outlook 2019 Outlook Client app). I presume the other repair setup changes still need to be made pop, smtp, ports, and other check boxes. I ask because I am reading some threads and (as you know), there are multiple Outlook scenarios (versions) Outlook PC client 20xx, Outlook for Windows, New Outlook, Outlook 365 etc
Thanks

Worked for me using Windows 10 and Outlook 2019.
Thanks!
Shame on you, Cox, for not publishing this and making it simple!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just transistioned this morning and spent a couple of hours trying to straighten out the mess it made with my folders. Add that blinking ad email you can not remove and I was disgusted and ready for my Outlook. Well that went as well as expected and I spent over an hour trying to get it to work. Googled and ran across this article and voila it immediately fixed my problem. I have never used Yahoo and was not familar with the 3rd party app password generation. I am a geek and somewhat knew what to look for. I feel sorry for the many that are not going to have a clue as to how to fix this and wondering if Cox or Yahoo steps up to do so. Anywho seriously had to say thanks as I was at my breaking point!
