Just to confirm - I've been notified that Sky are aware and are investigating.

Don't set it up as Yahoo, set it up as IMAP and use a generated password.

https://www.sky.com/sky-yahoo-mail/manage-apps

If you need the server details use these:

imap.mail.yahoo.com port 993 SSL

smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 465 SSL

Good luck

Edit, I originally put the POP port instead of the IMAP port, now corrected.

Re: Like many others as of 29/06/2023 14:32 I can not access my Sky Yahoo e-mails. Anyone got an ans

2 step verification has worked until now, suddenly I'm not receiving text codes. It's for my husband, I shouldn't have set up 2 step verification and I really regret it now as I'm sometimes not home when he needs the code. Also, I don't remember getting the initial code and can't find it. Is there any way to fix this?

Why cancel your TV service over issues with your email account, just sign up for an email account at Gmail.com or Outlook.com instead.

Just to add my voice that OTP not coming through to phone. Aware that it's been posted that Sky are alert to the problem too. Try again tomorrow I guess.

Re: Texts not coming through for 2 step verification

I am also having the same problem - not receiving code for two-step authenticiation.

 

Tried phoning Sky - went through to a call centre - they said engineers were very busy, but then said that it is a Yahoo problem not a Sky problem.

 

Gave me a number for Yahoo, when called the number was dead.  Found another number for Yahoo, went straight through to a person (based in Ireland), said that he could see I had a virus at 25% in my mailbox, and later it went up to 33%.  The person wanted access to my computer.  At which point I hung up.

 

Any updates on this?  Have all mailboxes got a virus?   Sky?

Use the Recovery Code to turn off 2 Step Authentication. Mine worked immediately and I logged straight into email. Read detailed responses on page one posts describing.

Same problem here too!

 

I pay more than enough for Sky and these things keep happening!
