  2. stop making me confirm access on my phone

    Please stop making me use my phone in order ot access email on my computer. I don't have my phone with me all the time so you basically make me unable to check my own email. If you don't fix this I will have to change my primary email to my gmail...so I can actually USE it.

    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 an Account Key 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

    It is possible to turn off the Account Key…

  3. filters: no longer available to create new filter within a email (buried in settings)

    In the "old" yahoo - you had the option of creating a filter when reading an email that you wished to filter (it was part of the drop downs).
    But now it is buried within Settings, More Settings, Filters with the requirement to have copied the info to bring with you - 4 additional (needless) steps.

    Before: click on "More" and then select "filters"
    "From" was auto-populated.
    2 steps

    Now: carefully select the email address by highlighting then pressing copy to bring…

  4. No to charging to Auto-Forward email!?!?!

    Yahoo.... why do you feel the need to charge to use auto-forwarding??? This is not for safety or security, there are plenty of ways to tackle that, such as by revalidating every 30-60 days.

    Please dismiss this idea or i will cancel my account entirely. There are many more email providers who povide an ad-free experience, including auto-forwarding without charge.

  6. Change mail forwarding

    Many including myself could not find out how to set autoforwarding. I was helped through it via the Contacts settings. However, this feature needs to be added to the settings in the window with the mail filtering that is part of the mail settings rather than through the Contacts settings. This looks like a design vestige that needs to be cleaned up.

  13. Review ridiculous access page

    Do allow users to register their preferences regarding sharing of personal info once, but stop asking the question every time I log in. This is becoming quite ridiculous and I've just about had it with Yahoo since Oath. Do something about this or users will be deserting Yahoo in their droves.

  20. Filters Drag and Insert

    Ordering of filters list make it so you can drag them up or down.
    Adding a new filter make so you can select an existing filter and when you create the new filter have it insert at the current position in the list. If you have a bunch of filters and like to order them into groups then you have to click the up/down arrow a lot
