Hey thanks for posting these settings, its not immediately obvious in the yahoo mail account where they were, nice to stumble upon this guide!
I had to go into Yahoo, Click your profile name, Account Info (under your profile name), Account Security, Manage App Passwords, and create a password to enter into the account settings in Outlook.
