What wasn't successful? It wouldn't create an app password? It didn't
work when you tried using it in Thunderbird? More information please.
How did you try entering it in Thunderbird? Copy and paste from a web-
browser into Thunderbird, retyped it, actually used Thunderbird to
create the app password?

I'm using Evolution. Occasionally access to Yahoo would fail, with no
good reason, nor explanation. Nor any advance warning that they were
changing anything. The usual problem was that they were forcing a
password change on me, for reasons unspecified.
A *wild* *guess* might be that they got compromised, won't admit it,
and just forced everyone to change credentials.
It was Yahoo! .They fixed whatever was the problem
