Since Yahoo will very soon require OAuth2 (almost, they give workarounds), it would be nice if Balsa supports this standard, becoming more and more common.
I'm working on that (see <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/issues/40>), but it's very complex with many pitfalls and points of failure, and as I had too much “real life” (i.e. for €€€) work, everything has been delayed… I'll try to speed up the implementation! BTW, OAuth2 is *not* more secure than the traditional methods (when the connection to the server is TLS encrypted, of course), and there has been a lot of criticism about the whole concept (e.g. see this post by one of the authors <https://web.archive.org/web/20130116102852/http://hueniverse.com/2012/07/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell/>). Best, Albrecht.
