Make verification optional
WHY does yahoo insist on sending me a verification code every time I log in, with the SAME computer? It is annoying, takes more time and makes us do yet another 2-3 steps to access our email account. If you want or think you need to secure our account with verification code then at least make it optional. I will take the risk. And, no, it's NOT the 2-step verification.

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.
