By disabling less secure apps, you'll be adding an extra layer of security to your Yahoo Mail account. This will prevent apps that don't use modern security protocols from accessing your account.

Note: Disabling less secure apps may affect the functionality of some apps that use Yahoo Mail's API. If you're using an app that requires less secure apps to be enabled, you may need to contact the app's developer to request an update that uses OAuth 2.0 or other modern security protocols.
