  2. stop forcing people into a 2 way logging on code. You have no right to choose

    I hate yahoo now and will be chainging in the next few months all emails to a new location. I thank yahoo for the years they gave me and I do appreciate it but I do not want to sign in with a 2 way verification because I don't need it.. I don't want it and frankly it doesn't work that well. Your system suck with amy flaws like if you choose to phone a person you don't, you do whatever you want. If this two way system was not enforced by yahoo then find out who did it. I…

  10. Get intelligent people to program.

    My listed devices for security checks are ALL old and no longer in use. There's no method to delete them or add my current one. How can you ******* be that stupid? Checked help and talked to an agent.....no idea what to do. Does anyone with an IQ over 75 work there?

  12. You locked my email from my phone because I don't want your app.

    I would pay for my email service from you but I will not put an unnecessary app on my phone. I have enough interested parties data mining me already to the maximum extent I can or will tolerate.

  15. By allowing us to choose our passwords and not be dictated to by you on what we want to use.

    Yahoo are not very bright, by refusing us to use our own countries financial sign means hacking is much easier as we have to use the Dollar sign. Give us the end user the right to choose our own currency symbol and stop saying its not safe to use when in fact its much safer than using a dollar sign as its a common sign, so is more unsafe than say the British pound. Wake up and fix it as we can find ways of escalating this to higher powers in Yahoo and seriously contemplating doing it.

  16. Why do I keep getting a 60 minutes delay to logging into my email from my laptop

    I keep getting a 60 minute delay (lockout) from my laptop. If it's a security issue identified, provide an option for 2-factor authentication. I can log in at the same time from my other laptop or phone

  18. Attachments should be attachments, not thumbnail previews that can't be opened full size.

    The idea below mine is the same, but it won't let me "vote" w/o signing into something i don't want. Attachments need to have an option to open the attachments. People don't send them so we can only access a preview/thumbnail of it.
    Note, I am signed in. I don't know what hte problem is with this feedback option, but it needs fixing too.

  19. STOP THE CAPTCHA

    You guys are failing miserably at implementing the login captcha. Every time I have to waste lots of time clicking the stupid pictures (which in turn have ridiculous cooldown times) like my time was infinite. I pass every test, yet it keeps making me answer more and more every time. Today I had to go through 5 different tests before I gave up and went on a private window.

    ***** this ****, I'm switching.

  20. I don't like the "newer" email. The font is too small and too spread out on mail inbox.

    I want to go back to the previous version, not some version in between that and the "Newest" version.
    The "newer" font is too small and spread out. I can't Find anywhere to change it.
    Any attachments should be at the bottom, displayed LARGER, and with option to Preview.
    I want my messages accessed as continuous scroll, and not loaded as separate pages, which is very unhelpful for quick scroll and access.
    Didn't choose to go with new version, but seem to be stuck with a "newer" version and can't get back to previous version.
    NOT HAPPY!
