Suddenly I can not longer publish to Flickr

I have over 1500 images published in a number of Albums in Flickr over many years.  I updated LR Classic and began to have a number of problems. First new Albums were created in Flickr without any specific action to do so.  This still may be an issue.  There was a suggestion to make sure my LR Classic was up to date and I updated.  Now when I attempt to publish, LR says Flickr Authentication Failed.   I want to avoid losing the organization I have estabished with all my images and albums, and I have not "played around" seeking a solution.  Is there a straight forward correction, which would re establish the authentication from the 12 or so Flickr Albums currently created in LR?  Thanks for any support.

I cannot get Lightroom Classic to publish new photos to either Flickr or Smugmug. This leads me to believe this is an Adobe issue.

Normally, it is a Flickr issue (I can't speak about Smugmug) — but since Smugmug owns Flickr, perhaps their servers/web site are having problems. Wait a few hours and try again.

There have been no responses to this inquiry.  Is there a way I can get it in front of the community?
