Generate app password for Classic Outlook

[phbr]

Hi

I have seen many similar questions but they all seem to have been solved some time ago. I am moving to a new PC (with Outlook Classic so I can use my current .pst file) but need an app password to link to the POP server. If I follow the Yahoo link to generate the app password it takes me to my Sky screen that does not allow me to do it. I have telephoned Sky who have said I need to contact Yahoo. I have contacted Yahoo (only a bot at the moment although a ticket has been opened) who has said it should be Sky providing me with the information. I have years of saved emails in Outlook so would like to continue t use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, please...

@phbr Sky have withdrawn the password generator, I'm afraid. Does Classic Outlook not accept your Sky password?

I'm afraid not... just tried again. Yahoo suggests it needs one so I'm surprised neither Yahoo nor Sky will allow me to create one.

@phbr the password generator used by Yahoo is different from the one formerly used by Sky. Sky are believed to have shelved their app password generator for (well founded) security reasons.

Thanks for the info... I'll wait until Yahoo support get back to me and see what I can do then... although I don't hold out much hope!
