Greyed out selection to add Yahoo account

In the pop-up to authenticate my credentials when adding my Yahoo account, everything goes well until the last section in which to receive a code. I have 2fa setup on my account but cannot add it to Mailwasher.
The input area on the pop-up is all greyed out. I was able to add my Yahoo account to Thunderbird in which the security pop-up was not greyed out.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found that it was much easier to just use an app password for my Yahoo! accounts: https://au.help.yahoo.com/kb/generate-m ... 15241.html

Does that work for you?

Thanks for the link and information. While it did not help as I received the "password is invalid" warning after I generated it, I did go at it from a different direction.
I turned off 2fa and signed in successfully and then went back to the security page and turned 2fa back on again.
I appreciate your help.
