Prepare Your Yahoo Account
Set up your Yahoo account so that it allows Outlook to connect. This initial step depends on whether you have two-step verification enabled on your Yahoo account.
Two-Step Verification Enabled? Generate an App Password
If your Yahoo account is secured with two-step verification, generate a third-party app password. You’ll use this in place of your Yahoo Mail sign-in password when you configure Outlook.
No Two-Step Verification?
If you don’t use two-step verification to secure your Yahoo Mail account (and you don’t want to enable it), set your account to allow email clients to access it using your Yahoo account sign-in password.
Set up Yahoo Mail in Microsoft 365, Outlook 2019, and Outlook 2016
Adding your Yahoo Mail account to Outlook for Microsoft 365, Outlook 2019, and Outlook 2016 takes just a few steps.
