Two step verification

RectoryM — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 18:20:53 GMT

Does anyone know how to disable the pop up asking if I want two step verification? It shows 'maybe later' which I click , there is nothing to say never! My elderly mother uses Sky Mail and the new layout is confusing her. I don't want it to confuse her more if she accidentally clicks 'continue' and brings up two step verification. Just wish it would go away!

I'm afraid it can't be removed as Yahoo have set this up so that an option has to be selected after logging in.

I'm not so sure it's Yahoo, possibly Sky's implementation of Yahoo's 2FA..

Either way it's not by-passable (as far as I know)

Edit:I assume it's been introduced because so many people were requesting 2FA.
