1827150 - Adding Yahoo IMAP looping login popup window problem when using 2Step Auth

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[jorgenqv]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0

Steps to reproduce:

0. Prepare a Yahoo Mail account with 2-Step Verification (App) and a generated App Password.
1. Add email account enter Yahoomail address, the App passwword and click Continue.
2. A popup for verifying occur, asking for the yahoomail login, the ordinary account password, and then enter the app 6 digit code.

Actual results:

After entering the App 6 digit pass code the yahoo webpage popup loops and goes back to the first step asking for the Yahoomail address with no error message on the yahoo web page.

If I close the popup there is a yellow error message box saying that the account could not be added.

Expected results:

The Yahoomail should be added over IMAP but is not.

The workaround is to turn off Yahoo 2-Step Verification, add the IMAP in TB and then turn it on again.
