Yahoo put in place an App password, which has to be created and used, instead of your normal password:

If you use a 3rd-party email app to access your Yahoo Mail account, you may need a special code to give that app permission to access your Yahoo account. Learn how to create and delete app passwords.

I love when Yahoo does stuff like this: Change access requirements and and not tell anyone. My email stopped downloading about a week ago. I leaarned from a previous Yahoo requirement (untrusted apps or some such thing). So I was smart enough to log into Yahoo and saw app password. Had it generate a password, plugged that into the password field in Outlook and email downloaded. Gotta love Yahoo.
