Difficulty login into yahoo

[John105491]

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!

Try logging in here: https://www.sky.com/signin/email

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.
