STOP MAKING ME VERIFY MY ACCOUNTS
LATELY I KEEP GETTING MESSAGES THAT YOU YHOO HAS NOTICED SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY ON MY ACCOUNT AND I NEED TO VERIFY IT BY GETTING A CODE. IT SO HAPPENS TO GET THE CODE YHOO SENDS IT TO A DIFFERENT YHOO ACCOUNT THAT GIVE ME THE SAME MESSAGE SO I GET CAUGHT IN THE BS YAHOO VERIFICATION CIRCLE UNABLE TO VERIFY MY ACCOUNT.
TO GET AROUND IT I CLEAR MY HISTORY AND COOKIES THEN I'M ALLOWED TO SIGN IN NO PROBLEM. OR, I GO TO MY PHONE AND SIGN IN RIGHT AWAY NO PROBLEM.
WHAT THE HOCKEY STICKS YAHOO? WE BOTH KNOW YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY ON MY ACCOUNT SO STOP ASKING ME TO CONFIRM!!!!!

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 is an important security feature that helps to 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:
- 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.
