Description
I tried to use this plugin with Yahoo!'s oAuth2. It seems to connect to Yahoo with auth request, but strangely I got an JSON object back:
{"error":{"localizedMessage":"not found","errorId":"NOT_FOUND","message":"not found"}}
This is the Yahoo guide I followed. I configured the Authorization URL (https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/request_auth/), Token URL (https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/get_token), Client ID, Client Secret.
With the default scope (openid email profile), I chose "Confidential Client - Choose for traditional web apps" as oAuth Client Type and selected (OpenID Connect Permissions: Email + Profile) for API Permissions on Yahoo!.
Am I doing it right? Has anyone been able to get Yahoo! oAuth2 to work with this plugin?

Research direction
Start with the plugin's OAuth2 endpoint configuration and compare it with Yahoo's OAuth2 guide, especially the authorization and token URLs and requested scopes. Reproduce the Yahoo login flow and inspect the returned JSON; done means Yahoo authentication completes successfully instead of returning the NOT_FOUND error.
