How to add app password
Typically when I follow instructions on how to add a new app password so I can add my Sky email a/c to a new mail client app, (in this case MailSpring) the instructions I find lead to a dead end. An error message of "Something went wrong appears when I click the button to show the new password"!!! Can someone just let me know the correct links and process to do this please?

Re: How to add app password
This should be the link you need:
https://www.sky.com/sky-yahoo-mail/manage-apps?client=email
You could also try adding the email account as a Yahoo one and trying your usial Sky email password to see if it will work.

@amberleaf try closing all open Sky websites and then clearing your browser cache.

Have closed everything, cleared all browser history and still "Something went wrong". I've even turned of Unifi Ad Blocking to see if this might affect things and still unable to create the new app password. I just don't get why this all seems so difficult

Re: How to add app password
I've just tried, and I get the same message, so it's not just you.
But a word of warning, if you frequently generate new passwords, there appears to be a max of 30 before you reach the maximum allowed, and no way to rescind old passwords.
I now make of note of the passwords I generate, as they seem to be reusable.

Re: How to add app password
Thanks for confirming someone else also gets the same error msg as it ws driving me crazy. Its a shame but so many sites now seem to have options that don't work any more - maybe someone from Sky or Yahoo will get this resolved soon
