Hi Nylas community! For some reason our application for Yahoo OAuth credentials keeps getting rejected. Does anyone have any tips or connections that can help? Thanks! ---

Hello David, Did you check this article? It outlines what’s required to connect using Yahoo. It worked for me, setting this from Zero: - [Authenticating Yahoo accounts with Nylas | Docs](https://developer.nylas.com/docs/provider-guides/yahoo-authentication/?redirect=reorg#authenticate-yahoo-users-with-oauth) Make sure to be using the `Application-Specific Password` created in the Yahoo Configuration. Let me know if you feel something is unclear or if you get stuck in a particular step. I’ll be happy to help with it! Kind regards, —Carlos Higuerey Support Engineer, Nylas ---

We’re getting rejected at the second step of Requesting Access to Yahoo data. ---

Did you mention in the form that you submitted to yahoo that you are a Nylas user? ---

Yes, I think so! Should I not have? ---

You should make sure to have included that fact. Yahoo will usually approve the request when you mention that you are a Nylas user. Did they provide you with a reason for the rejection? Unfortunately, if Yahoo is rejecting your application, there isn’t much else we can do. You could still connect your yahoo accounts using app passwords instead. ---

We were able to create an application, but the application doesn’t specify a read only or read-write permissions on email. I can only request Email or Profile in the Open ID, but there is read/write under Trades (but I don’t think that’s right). Is that normal? ---

No, I don’t see Read/Write in Yahoo’s portal. ---
