Watch Emails Module says my Yahoo Credentials are invalid

I connected via the Send Email module, but the Watch Emails module does not accept my Yahoo credentials for User Name and Password, so I can’t make a connection. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Please attach your module configuration screenshot here. Remember to blur sensitive data such as passwords if visible.

Meanwhile, please refer to this document and check if your server settings are correct.

Thanks for replying. While I was waiting, I consulted with Perplexity, and the issue was that an “App specific password” is necessary, which can be created on the Yahoo account security page where there is a link that says “Generate and Manage App Passwords”. Perplexity says 2-factor authentication has to be enabled first for this link to appear. The Watch Emails module auto generates a password, but if you click the view button, you can just paste your App specific password in the field. Thanks again. I hopes this helps someone.
