How To: Generate a Yahoo! Mail App Password for Stax.ai™

This is a tutorial for Stax.ai™ Administrators. If you are not a team admin, contact your administrator to set this up for you.

Yahoo! Mail requires users to create and use a randomly-generated "app password" when connecting to other applications. Follow the instructions below to generate a Yahoo! app password to use in Stax.ai™.

Start by logging into your Yahoo! Mail account. On the top-right corner, click on your user icon. This will open your user menu. Click on Account Info on the menu.

This will open your Yahoo! settings page. On the bar on the left side, click on Account Security.

Scroll down to find Other ways to sign in. Under the App Password option, click on Generate app password.

Follow the prompts to generate an App password that lets third-party apps like Stax.ai™ connect to Yahoo! mail.

At this screen, you need to enter the app's name. You can enter Stax.ai, or anything you'd like to organize your app passwords by. Click on Generate password.

Once your app password is generated, it will be displayed on the screen. Click on the Copy button to copy the app password into your clipboard.

Go back to the email account setup page on Stax.ai™ and enter your Yahoo! mail email address and the newly generated app password to connect!
