Re: I want to remove the DPD app that apparently has my authorisation (?) to connect to my email acc

Yes, I sign in with my email address and I can't block out info as I'm not on my phone but on my Mac. Also copy/pasting doesn't work with links.
Anyway what I see is exactly what you've shown except goes straight from the Sky ID section to the Sky account (home) section. There is no paragraph in between saying anything about app passwords. Nothing in between. Nada.

Very strange, it's almost as if it doesn't know you have an email address. Possibly its because you havent generated any app passwords.

I know I said we shouldn't be using the Yahoo pages to administer our accounts, but does this link show rhe DPD app, when you scroll down to IMAP access? If so there is a remove button.

Re: I want to remove the DPD app that apparently has my authorisation (?) to connect to my email acc

Thank you. You're so helpful! But no, I'd already been in and out of the Yahoo pages yesterday when I was beginning to search for this. I don't see any IMAP notes when I scroll down (and I can't see it being any different due to my using a Mac rather than my phone, can you?). But anyway, no. I have no mention of any app connection until I click on Privacy, Overview and there it is. Allowed access to my emails since 29 June, apparently.

No it shouldn't matter that you are using a Mac, you are only using the browser, so the device is irrelevant.

Strangely I can't find privacy overview.

What I see is under recent activity, where I can remove access to all devices, except the one I'm currently on.

Re: I want to remove the DPD app that apparently has my authorisation (?) to connect to my email acc

Thank you so much for engaging in my problem. I called DPD in the end and they couldn't find any deliveries after March 2023 (there have been several) and said it was nothing to do with them, they had no idea what DPD consumer profiles even means.  (They have a web page called that). They said report to phishing! As if ..... I then checked 'my' recent activity on the Yahoo site and there were news pages I've never seen and wouldn't go searching for. So it's all very weird and there seems no help from Sky. I called them and waited on hold for ages earlier and then got cut off. I'll have to change my email account and it could be time to ditch Sky TV too. They're hopeless.

I don't think this has anything to do with Sky, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to help.

 

Regardless of you not having a DPD account, I wonder if you may have taken the 'sign in using your Yahoo account' option on the DPD Consumer Profiles web page at some point. I don't have an account with DPD either, but it still offers me the option to enter my Yahoo username and password. While I imagine it would come up with a 'DPD account not found' error if I did so, it would still have used your Yahoo login credentials to get to that point - which would result in the entry in the Dashboard?

Re: I want to remove the DPD app that apparently has my authorisation (?) to connect to my email acc

@Mark39 Thank you. I think you might have it there because I've had deliveries lately and I may have advised DPD of a safe place to leave a parcel so may well have logged in that way. I still don't know how to remove it but I think it doubtful that DPD would want to snoop through my emails! I'd better just forget about it, but what strange times we live in .....
You've all been very nice and I'm grateful for the help on this forum.

I don't think there's anything to remove, to be honest. It's just a notification that you've used your Yahoo login to authenticate yourself to a 3rd party website. I'm pretty confident that DPD won't have your Yahoo login details.
