Can't set up Yahoo mail on Mail in Big Sur

When I try adding my Yahoo mail acct on my new macbookpro I get this message:  

Error: Sorry, we can't find the username or password in our records. Please try again.


I am not able to access my Yahoo mail on their website either. Works fine on all my other Mac devices and other Safaris, so the id and pwd are correct, no caps, no typos. The problem probably has to do with Yahoo and Big Sur.

My google accts were set up fine on Mail, just Yahoo rejects my CORRECT ID and pwd.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
