From what I find online from a website search, it looks like yahoo may now require you set up and use an alternate password for third-party apps: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html

Yahoo of course has been notorious for years for email issues and security problems, so you could also consider setting up a more modern email to use instead, perhaps gmail or outlook.com, as an alterative.

Either way one can also always create a PDF to email directly from their email client in an emergency: https://archive.3dinspection.com/en/tips-and-tricks/options-for-electronic-report-delivery.html
