Yahoo and AOL, both advertise that they support app passwords for third-party
applications. But generating app passwords for them is broken and unreliable
for quite some time now. Yahoo already had an OAuth2.0 credential helper
added in the documentation, so I thought it would be a good idea to add one
for AOL accounts as well, which is more reliable and secure.
