Difficulty login into yahoo

I have 4 devises (phone, iPad, laptop and PC). I'm having a problem as I'm faced with yahoo telling me I have to wait for an hour before I can login! Is there a maximum number of devices yahoo will accept?

also is there any way I can turn off MFV as it calls my phone and when I'm it's not very convenient for my wife at home!

Click the 'can't use verification code' (or words to that effect) link, and then log in using your Recovery Code, to turn off 2 step login.

Are you logging in online at Sky.com or do you use an app or program like Outlook to access your Sky email account ?

I access my emails through Outlook

Then try changing the setting to these:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server

Server - imap.tools.sky.com
Port - 993
Requires SSL - Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server

Server - smtp.tools.sky.com
Port - 465
Requires SSL - Yes
Requires authentication - Yes

You will then need to generate a 16 digit password and use that instead of your usual one, you can do that here:

2 step verification doesn't work (it can't) when you're using an email app or client like Outlook.
