Tired of forgetting your password? You don't need one any more, says Yahoo
- Two step verification works by a user logging in with their usual fixed password
- Sends code to mobile phone which is entered on computer
- The “on-demand” password service is opt-in and currently only available in the US.
Yahoo have introduced a new method of entering credentials onto their website. Eliminating the need of memorising passwords and and improving security.
Yahoo Mail now offers a service similar to “two-step verification”, a security measure employed by other email providers, but the difference is the removal of the first step.
Taking away passwords will have a huge spike in phone hackings and privacy issues may arise.
Steps:
1) Sign in to your Yahoo.com account.
2) Click on your name at the top right corner to go to your account information page.
3) Select “Security” in the left bar.
4) Click on the slider for “On-demand passwords” to opt-in.
5) Enter your phone number and Yahoo will send you a verification code.
6) Enter the code and voila!
