the iMac's 2021 and on Ventura 13.1. I think it's a Yahoo problem and I did get a link to a premium account so it would appear you have to pay to get support from yahoo?

Call the Yahoo number in the link that I provided. You should not need to pay extra for anything.

We had our old Yahoo Accounts locked a couple of times over the last 20 years. It was a pain waiting for a support person to come on the line, but once we got thru it was a snap to get our accounts unlocked and working again. According to the support person that helped us the last time, it occasionally happens to batches of accounts when the servers get updated.

What year model is the iMac that you are using?

Is it on macOS 10.12 Sierra as your profile indicates?

If your Yahoo Mail Account(s) are not accessible or locked, then you need to call or contact Yahoo Support.
