Hi there, @Anonymous.

 

I appreciate you joining this thread and trying some tests in order to resolve your concern. I can help you more with sending the invoice transactions through email.

 

QuickBooks Desktop doesn't use your email password when sending invoices. Rather, it needs the random password given during the 2-step verification process.

 

Here's how to generate 3rd-party app passwords:

  1. Sign in and go to your Account security page.
  2. Scroll-down to the Two-step verification and Allow apps that use less secure sign in sections and turn on both features.

  3. Follow the prompts to get a one-time app password: Generate third-party app passwords.

Next, try sending the invoice through QuickBooks Desktop again. In the Password text box, enter the third-party app password generated by Yahoo and click OK.

 

For in-depth information, you can use this link as a reference: QuickBooks will not accept my web mail password.

 

Let me know how these steps work out for you, CFisher. Just click the Green (reply) button to leave a message for me. I'll be here to keep helping.
