So, I'm certain someone attempted to try to login to my account by "testing the water" by typing my account information (email address) on login, but account key (yahoo app) notified me and I prevented the person from logging in. However, if I (or any other users) misclick the account key verification to yes (between yes AND no), my account would be breached immediately. Instead of having account key a choice between yes AND no, please make it a randomly generated code, like the email/text with a notification, with limited attempts. I understand that this format is easy and convenient on majority of the users, but this is a highly exploitable/vulnerable security.

Since this is seemingly the only outlet available to me, as a Yahoo patron, to put this out there in, (Which is a whole other suggestion, in of itself!), I find it frustrating that this 'Account Key' verification option can not be 'completely" turned off on the user end. My Yahoo e-mail account keeps asking me for a mobile phone number whenever I log into it. I can't give them my home phone number, (it turns out), so why keep asking me for a mobile number, when I do not even 'have' one, and why make me keep having to... not 'choose', but 'put', "Remind me later", every single time I sign in?

If they're going to do this, why not at least ask me the proper question, of: "Would you like to use Account key?"... (then add), ... "it requires a mobile phone number", instead of just flagging me with: "Add Mobile Phone Number (Required)"?

It's more than just an annoyance to me. We, as human beings, are not required to own a cell phone, nor should we be expected to own one. A phone number, of any sort, is not required to open a Yahoo e-mail account, and 'Account Key' is not required for using Yahoo's e-mail; so why is it that I have to continually tell them each and every time i open my account, that I don't want the 'Account Key' feature, (Or, as they put (demand) it: "Add mobile phone number (Required!)"? It doesn't stand to reason.

Having to keep checking the "Remind me later" option each and every log-in, is a bit absurd, if you ask me - (is my point). Maybe Yahoo just needs to hire better 'systems analysts', or, maybe just needs a better understanding of the world in general.

I know my email and my password to my old email account but I don’t get an option to enter my password they just wanna send a code to my old phone number that I no longer have access too and in order to update my information I must log in first....tech support only wants to charge me $12.99 a month to update my phone number for me so they can send a code to that number....how about you just give me my password box and I can enter it...had to make new email and needing account information that’s being sent to my old email to update everything it’s a freaking hassle I’ve been using yahoo mail for almost 20 years since I left hotmail now I have to keep dealing with this bs
