Navigate to Account Settings > Email Settings:

Yahoo Settings: Yahoo requires this setting to be turned on, in order to sync their email accounts with outside applications:

  1. Go to https://login.yahoo.com/account/security

  2. Scroll down until you see "Allow apps that use less secure sign in"

  3. Turn on "Allow apps that use less secure sign in": 

If your Account Security page is different from the one above, you may have a Yahoo Business account, in which case you'd need to create an "App password" for 17hats by following this guide: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-mail-for-desktop/generate-third-party-passwords-sln15241.html
