Why doesn't Sky YahooMail not have MFA/2FA facility?

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

Mark39 — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 19:42:16 GMT

Simply because it's not a feature Sky chooses to provide.

Not great for security reasons though, is it?

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

Mark39 — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 19:52:09 GMT

Nope. But thankfully there are other providers, including Yahoo Mail, that allow it, if it's a concern.

TMTM — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 19:56:19 GMT

Yes, and I do use such providers. In fact, all my other email providers use MFA except SkyMail. Yes, I can move, of course, but this should not have to be this way for something that is a pretty basic security requirement for any responsible organisation in modern cyber security conscious world.

I suspect the Sky Yahoo Mail service is a legacy provision for Sky, that they would be happy to see wither on the vine.

Sky email is only available to those that have previously set up an accounts as it hasn't been possible to set new ones up for a few years now so while you might be right about this, it is going to change I suspect.

Yes, I am notching over two decades now with Sky. I do have @sky.com email account. Even if there may be few people using it the sky email, Sky/Yahoo still have some obligations for end end user cyber security when using services they (Sky/Yahoo) provide.

Come Sky/Yahoo please get this sorted soon.

Not going to happen. If you are unhappy with that, just go somewhere else.

For the reason I mentioned previously, I imagine.

It's speculating at the moment unles Sky directly confirms.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

jayach — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 22:11:15 GMT

True, but I bet I'm right. Sky really would like to get rid of the email service..

And no, I have no proof of that either. Still think I'm right.

@sky Official - Is anyone able to comment or advise on this please?

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

It's a customer Community. It's very unlikely that Sky will reply.

This is a customer helps customer forum so sorry that you don't believe us by what we have been saying it what will, or in this case, will not happen. Sky are not going to ctivate this to a service that they no longer let people sign up to.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

TMTM — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 19:16:43 GMT

Okay, thank you for your inputs. I shall contact sky support just to see what they have to say about this.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

jayach — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 22:10:25 GMT

Do let us know what they say. but I doubt it will be what you want to hear.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

TMTM — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 19:58:17 GMT

Will certainly do. In French, we say, 'on ne sait jamais!'

Logged a case last night and they are investigating...

Did you ever get anywhere with this, as it's exactly what i am wondering too. Would change but such a deal with so many of my various online accounts set up with the Sky email
