I need to restart SeaMonkey. That is a non-starter for me when the POP3
constipated email issue sometimes means multiple restarts in a day. If
all they want to do is generate me a new password once then fine, but
NOT every time I restart SeaMonkey.

I generated one, one week ago and am still using it. I believe the
e-mail is incorrect. It would be ridiculous having to generate a new
password each time.
Think of it as a second, more secure password. One for the web site, one
for third-party applications.
Or perhaps a rudimentary form of 2-factor authentication.
I found this with my primary email provider a couple of years ago, when
I configured a mail client on my phone. The regular password works fine
for an interactive login, but I had to generate a separate password for
setting up a new client connection.
For some reason, that provider didn't make me change my password in
Seamonkey, and for that, although I have an SMTP password remembered, I
purposely don't save the POP password. Because I have to enter that
once per session, I use it often enough that it's one that I always
remember.
As for my Yahoo, I just followed the Option 3 instructions to create a
new password, and then put into the password manager for both IMAP and
SMTP.
