Cannot sign into Yahoo! Mail on iPad using Safari

Every time I try to sign into Yahoo! Mail on my iPad it tells me to try a different device. It works if I use Google, but not if I use Safari. I am using an iPad 10th generation with iOS 26.2.1 I have never had an issue trying to sign into that before.

iPad, iPadOS 26

To fix Yahoo sign-in issues on Safari, clear your browser cache and cookies via Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data. Disable VPNs or Safari extensions that may block scripts, and ensure Safari is updated to the latest version. If issues persist, try a private window or use the Yahoo Sign-in Helper
