  1. Bring back generate app passwords

    The generate app passwords feature has been disabled. This means I cannot add my Yahoo mail account to Outlook desktop on my new PC.

    I have been a loyal customer of yours for decades. Treating customers like this is appalling.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Due to some recent changes designed to improve the safety of our platforms and member privacy, we’ve made the process to create App Specific Passwords more secure. This can result in some difficulty when trying to set up an ASP from a new device. Please ensure that you try creating an app password without using an Incognito browser and use a browser where you have signed into that account in the past, for at least a couple of days. If this is not successful, there may not be a workaround; as we don't know if or when this feature will be available, we encourage you to use Webmail or the Yahoo Mail app to access your email. We’ll share the feedback on how this experience has been for you internally. Thanks again for letting us know.

  3. Fix the app/two step verification. Repeatedly the codes provided did not work in the apps. OVER AND OVER. Might be time to leave Yahoo

    I’ve been trying to log in repeatedly on my iPad IN THE APP. I’ve used text to phone and code sent to third-party email address and nothing works. I must have tried a dozen times. I’m finding the experience very frustrating.

  5. The whole concept of "New password is too similar to the old one" is stupid.

    Why would you not let me change my password to whatever the **** I want. So what if the new password is similar to the old ones I used, it's my choice to have the password I want...

  7. Why am I forced to use my phone to unlock my account when using my personal PC

    Why am I forced to use my phone to unlock my account when using my personal PC even when the keep me signed in box is checked? Never in all the years of using this service have I ever had to do this. In the last 3 months I have had to do this everyday (sometimes multiple times in one day). How do I fix this?

  8. Allow me to see what e-mails I'm subscribed to so I can unsubscribe. Thx.

    My Hotmail account lets me see all the places I'm subscribed to for e-mail. Handy so I can unsubscribe if desired.

  13. A Quarter of a century I've had this email and I feel abused

    Here's my idea.....just because I don't pay for this email and protect my computer with VPN doesn't mean you should abuse me by dancing 10 to 12 CAPTCHAs past me and still want a code sent to my phone. When I got this account NO ONE paid for email! This is a form of bullying, aggressively attempting to force folks into a pay for email. I doubt I'm alone in this concern.

  14. Log in

    I have been with yahoo mail for decades, 30-40 years. I now need a one time verification code every time to log on. Are strong passwords no longer required? This means I have to sign in to another email provider, very secure and does not require a OVC, to get it. I don't pocess a 'phone.

    Is there a setting in mail that I can use to automatically forward incoming mail to my other provider? I will be closing my yahoo account over the next short while and would like to not lose any of my contacts. Yes, I know…

  18. Need to improve blocking of domains

    I get a few emails from someone@msn.com, which is ok.

    Lately, I have been getting some spam emails from xxxxx@yyyy.msn.com. Often, the yyyy is in the form of a random numeric or alphanumeric long string.

    But, the Settings only allow blocking of complete email addresses, without wildcards or simple domains, without wildcards.

    I would like to be able to block .msn.com domains and/or *@.msn.com emails, for example.

  20. Tired of 2nd Sign-in text in order to access 24 year old email

    I just want to check my email. It is aggravating to have to wait for a text in order to view an account I've had for 24 years. Just let me sign in to my ********* email when I sign in
