Hi there. If there's something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we'll ask you to go through another verification step after you've entered the correct password. This is an important security feature that helps to protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get a verification code on your Yahoo app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons:
- Yahoo notices suspicious account activity.
- You're using an unfamiliar browser or device.
- You're traveling away from your usual location.
- You sign in while using a VPN or a proxy server.
- You've logged in with a private or incognito window.
- There are many attempts to sign in with incorrect passwords.
- The "First time signing in from this device" message appears.
- You've cleared your browser history or data cache including cookies.
If you need help, we are available at help.yahoo.com through the ''Contact us'' link.
Thank you,
Yahoo team

Yet again I have to verify my account.
Only two weeks since I last visited and on all my accounts I have to verify.
WHY?
This is getting beyond pathetic and I get no replies from Yahoo support explaining the reasons.
