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:

    This is complaining about using Yahoo mail. Too difficulties getting to mails due to additional verification. I’m using the same computer for few years and recently cell phone. It is difficult when I’m outside the country and limited access to internet time consuming not needed. (YOUR MESSAGE SIGN IN IN THIS NEW DEVICE - ??? just were there 1 or 2 days ago)
    Another things: why I HAVE TO ACCEPT ANY ADDS VERIZON OR SO TO USE YOUR APPL. Do not like that I’m seriously thinking to find better than existing YAHOO which I was using many, many years and was happy. Now you made me unhappy customer.

    Make it optional for those who don't want to share that info with Yahoo.

    I don't care about two-factor authentication and I don't want to have all my contact details in one place in case of hacking.

    If I can't recover my account so be it! I'll just make a new one and use that instead. I won't ask you to solve that problem and no I don't need you to protect my online safety in exchange for my details.

    I have to have my phone near my desktop every. single. time. I want to login to my yahoo mail. This is very irritating and I have tried 7 different ways to send a support message through email but THAT keeps getting rerouted back to the main "help" menu. I have cookies enabled. It would be awesome to find an email address ask for support through instead of jumping through hoops. Thanks in advance.

    First, you removed the workaround for people without cellphones that Classic had, then you put it back, now you have removed it again. I have been able to still get in my email by closing the browser and trying again. Would Yahoo rather that I change to gmail to avoid being permanently locked out of my email because I don't have a cellphone? You don't have a category for "Yahoo messed it up again."

    I don't know what is happening, but in the last 48 hours, every time I want to login to check my emails, I have to load a code you send me to my other email address, because you detected some unusual or suspicious activity in my account, well, I don{t see anything unusual and you are driving me crazy with these stupid codes.

    Signing in is a *****. If I haven't made a mistake stop making jump through hoops with "Im not a robot or use key! I just want to sign in thank you. I'm tired of it. Also quick changing things!

  • craig milton commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you make me jump through hoops, verification numbers, changing passwords etc... ONE more time on this ridiculous platform I am deleting my account.

    I HAVE HAD IT!!!!!!!!!

    You have made this product almost unusable. I am on the same computer day after day and I am ******* tired of jumping through hoops to get my mail.

    I don't want to search through topics to leave feedback, I don't want to sign up to have you as my homepage just to leave feedback.

    You have a needy, **** product and there are much better options out there.

    I am on gmail as well and I get NONE of this. No ads in my mail, no sh*t password changes, no verification every other login. I did it once and they used the power of the internet and modern computing technology to remember me and my location.

    You should look into that technology.

    DO BETTER!!!!

    every time I try and open yahoo mail on my computer, it wants to send a code or ask me on my phone if I'm signing in from another device. This is annoying

  • J Gray commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am sick of having to have verification codes sent to me by text to check my email. I’m not doing anything different there is no unusual activity So STOP IT !!!!!!!

  • dana gutierrez commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why the **** does Yahoo have to verify my login every **** day when I am on my personal laptop at least 10 times a day using my email. WTF is wrong with verifying my login once and leaving me the **** alone. I am getting tired of you verifying everyday and I don't have my phone all the **** time!! Fix your problem!! Im not the only one complaining about it.

  • Peter Boots commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please sort yourselves out or I will be cancelling Yahoo , I have been with you 20 years ( a long time anyway) and every month I have to verify my account. This has only happened since Google took it over and now I cant acces my tablet because the cache? is full. What nonsence , going to change if you dont smarten up
