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:

    I'm getting fed up of repeatedly having to confirm my Account Recovery contact details. I confirm that the contacts you display are correct but a week or so later, you ask me to confirm these contacts again, telling me that they were last confirmed over 6 months ago. Today, I flipped at this so re-entered the contact details only to be told you already have these details.
    I'm trying to be polite but feel like saying something much stronger. Please sort this irritating issue out.

    let me log in using my password once. Stop making me log in with my Google account I don't always have my phone around and since I don't have yahoo mail on it it doesn't work anyway. The system is stupid and must have been developed by somebody who doesn't have to use it.

    How do I turn off getting a verification code from another source every time I want to read my email?

  • Trae E commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop making me authenticate both my phone, email, and reset my password literally every single time i try to use mail... You guys are seriously messing up here

    Is there anyway I could just stay signed in if not, I'm gonna start having to use my phone all the time it's much more convenient than this

    stop making me enter a code from my phone to enter yahoo.

  • Tom Morris commented  ·   ·  Report

    The verification for signing in is a bit cumbersome and most times will not work by opening an application when I am trying to use Yahoo on my computer. I open an application on my iPhone and I see no notification there in Yahoo. I ultimately have to use another method,i.e., send me a text with a code. Google's opening up an application works really well. Is there something you can do to make the process less cumbersome to log into an account online?

    WHat the **** is wrong with you YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Why can;t I sign into my own computer??????????????????

  • eoin prendergast commented  ·   ·  Report

    charging 'msg' rates every time I login. Why do I have to get these constantly? Seems like a money making scheme for YAHOO.
    WHY, WHY............

    Don't keep on asking for recovery email / phone number / verify or change password. It's a real pain in the neck. It did not used to be that way. Please fix it.

    Stop forcing me to sign in to your pathetic service or I will dump it.
    ID verification has gone too far. Changes all devoted to advertising.
    Chicken **** Geeks had it working better 25 years ago.

    Agree to what ????

    I am getting really tired of having to l,og in w/2fa every time i check my mail. What can be done about this?

  • Beverly Aguilar commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am sick and tired of all the sign-in hoops! I do NOT keep my cell phone handy and I do NOT want to jump all your hoops to sign in to an account that I always had open on my desktop. I do NOT have anyone else around here who would open my account much less my computer. PLEASE GET RID OF THE SIGN IN HOOPS!

  • Mike Adler commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have used this email since 2000. Suddenly I cannot log in unless you send a code to a secondary email or my tablet. This is a big time pain. I cannot figure out how to fix this.
    HELP!

  • Mark Montembeau commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why do I keep getting this?: "First time signing in with this device?
    We haven't seen you sign in from this device before. Choose a method below to verify that this is your account."
    I HAVE BEEN SIGNING IN WITH "THIS DEVICE" FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS NOW!
    WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
