Yahoo!
Hey Yahoo Member,
Us again. Just a reminder that your Yahoo Mail account needs your attention
before 20 October 2020. Security is incredibly important to us, and in order to
keep your account safe we're requiring an updated secure sign-in when accessing
your account from unofficial or non-Yahoo apps.
There are a few ways to keep your inbox running without interruption:
Option 1: We recommend that you access your email using our free Yahoo Mail app
for iOS and Android <Link> or simply go to mail.yahoo.com <Link> to access Yahoo Mail on the web.
Option 2: Keep your current, non-Yahoo app, BUT follow a few steps to get it to
sync with our secure sign-in method. The steps vary across different email
applications, but in most cases, you will have to remove your Yahoo account from
the app and then add it back again to update the sign-in security. Use the links
below to follow the specific steps for your current application:
- iOS Mail <Link>
- Gmail <Link>
- Samsung Mail <Link>
- Others <Link>
Option 3: You can generate a one-time, unique password that will allow you to
sign in to your account using your non-Yahoo email application. Once created,
this password will continue to allow your app to securely sync your Yahoo email
unless you sign out (or are signed out) from your app. You can find instructions
on how to do this here <Link>
Want more details? Please visit our help page <Link>
If you’ve already taken action, you can skip the above and go back to doing what
you love in your inbox.
Thanks again for being a Yahoo Mail fan!
Yours in your inbox,
The Yahoo Team
