Yahoo will not sign in.

On both my Mac and my MacBook I can no longer access my yahoo email. I can access it through Chrome and Safari, but not through Apple's email app. I type in the user id and hit "Continue" but it never advances to the next screen. I can't even get the opportunity to enter my password. The Mac is running Catalina 10.15.7.

If it's an IMAP account you may have to delete it then set it up again Using "Other" instead of AOL.
