Sending & receiving messages for my POP account in TB stopped working this morning

I have a W10 desktop with TB78 installed. I have several IMAP (Gmail) accounts and one POP account; the IMAP accounts still work, but the POP account (AT&T) will not send or receive messages (says password is incorrect). I checked my web email access (myAT&T) and it works fine (uses same password as TB account). I also have another W10 desktop that has TB68 installed, and it has the same problem. I have an old W7 desktop, and I downloaded TB78 to it, and it also has the same problem.

So the problem seems to affect both TB68 & TB78 and only affects the POP account. I have not changed anything in the last day. I tried disabling antivirus firewall and also tried lowering the TLS min to 1, but neither helped. The "saved passwords" for the SMTP account is correct

Any suggestions as to what happened and how I can restore that POP account in TB?

Thanks.

Thanks!!

After a few false starts, I was able to create the secure key.

That solved my problem also but still wonder why my other e-mail account didn't need to use the secure key?
