[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Yahoo Emails in Outlook

[Drew King]

Smita,

According to Bing Chat:

With OAuth support, no App Password is needed to add the Yahoo account 
to Outlook Desktop. When you add the account, you use your regular password.

Sounds like what you need to do is choose OAuth as your connection 
protocol and that is the fix.
