Unable to sign in to Yahoo Mail

Is MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10 compatible with Yahoo mail?

I can no longer sign in to my Yahoo mail account with Macmail. The Yahoo account is fine on my iPhone.

I'm currently using Yahoo's webamil and finding it a bit clunky compared to Macmail...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

You can use macOS's Mail client but you will probably need to use an "application-specific password" as Yahoo explains, here: https://in.help.yahoo.com/kb/new-yahoo-mail/enter-yahoo-generated-password-sln15241.html
