When I try to access thunderbird it asks me to insert a psw. Since I have just changed it in my email account yahoo.com, I put the new psw in thunderbird in order to access my email account, but it does not work. I have changed several times my psw but this is the first time it does not work..

Are you using Yahoo 2-step authentication?

No, I simply forgot my previous psw and I changed it..
