Remembering passwords issues
My phone is linked to my email accounts to protect my email from hackers. My problem is having to change my password too many times, when yahoo is supposed to remember it, since I clicked remember me. Yet it fails to do so. If it says remember me, and a phone number is attached to the account, it should only go to that phone to send the code to gain access to the account. Not have to keep resetting the password.
If we’ve noticed any unusual activity on your account or if you’re using a password that’s old or not strong enough, we’ll ask you to change it. By creating a new password, your personal info remains secured from intruders and imposters. For additional security tips, review the following:

LOG IN
WHY CAN i NOT LOG IN TO MY E-MAIL ON A DIFFERENT BROWSER WITH OUT CHANGING MY PASSWORD?
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 helps 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. -
need forwarding capability back.
I tried to create a business account to then forward to my already existing yahoo account. This is a let down. Will have to go to Gmail now.
Automatic forwarding sends a copy of incoming messages from your Yahoo Mail account to another email address. The forwarding address can’t be one of your recovery email addresses.

Stop adding alternate emails into my Yahoo mail without asking me first.
Your instructions for removing extra emails does not work. Email alias does not exist. There are emails there that aren't even mine. Please remove all extra emails or give me the means to accomplish this task.

It’s important to keep a valid mobile phone number or email address linked to your account in case you ever lose your password, want to switch over to a secure, password-free sign in, need to verify your identity if you sign in from an unfamiliar place, or want to receive notifications of changes made to your account.

Why does email delete after only a couple of weeks? It used to be 3 or 6 months.
By default, both the Trash and Spam folders empty automatically to keep your account tidy. You cannot change the Trash and Spam settings.
Trash deletion frequency – Trash is deleted after 7 days.
Spam deletion frequency – Spam is deleted after 30 days. -

I have too setup too many filters and I cannot tell which filter cause the email going to wrong folders.
Can all search in the filers or have a feature to export the filter into the file so that I can figure out which filter is causing the issue?

blocking unwanted emails
I recently provided my email address as part of a consumer response, and now I find my email is being routinely spammed daily by fictitious email addresses. These emails are coming from addresses where a valid email address has been hijacked, and the "new" user has simply placed an additional part in the address. Such as Joe.Blow@vresp##.amazon.com or Donotrespond@vmail##.infonet.net. Can you restore the use of the * as a wildcard identifier so I don't have to individually block all these? As in @vresp.. or @vmail... This used to work, but it is no longer recognized…
Hi there,
Thank you for the feedback. We will that this into consideration on future updates,
In the mean time I would suggest mark these emails as “spam.” This will tell our internal filters to block then before they arrive.

how could i send an email in a specific time? i don't want to send now, but i need to send several hours or minutes later.
why couldnot add a buttom such as "send later" besided the " send" buttom?
Hi there,
At this time we do not offer the option to schedule an email to be sent. You can however write the email and save it to your drafts folder. This will then allow you to quickly send the message when the time comes.
