Re: Yahoo SkyMail

FINALLY! Sky DID eventually INTRODUCE MFA for none Yahoo emails via Sky!!!! I wonder whether Sky bowed to my pressure. Either way, good to see that they have taken a good look at their Cyber hygiene! MFA is now basic requirement for anyone who takes cybersecurity seriously enough.

Simply because it's not a feature Sky chooses to provide.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

Not great for security reasons though, is it?

Nope. But thankfully there are other providers, including Yahoo Mail, that allow it, if it's a concern.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

Yes, and I do use such providers. In fact, all my other email providers use MFA except SkyMail. Yes, I can move, of course, but this should not have to be this way for something that is a pretty basic security requirement for any responsible organisation in modern cyber security conscious world.

I suspect the Sky Yahoo Mail service is a legacy provision for Sky, that they would be happy to see wither on the vine.

Sky email is only available to those that have previously set up an accounts as it hasn't been possible to set new ones up for a few years now so while you might be right about this, it is going to change I suspect.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail

Yes, I am notching over two decades now with Sky. I do have @sky.com email account. Even if there may be few people using it the sky email, Sky/Yahoo still have some obligations for end end user cyber security when using services they (Sky/Yahoo) provide.

Come Sky/Yahoo please get this sorted soon.

Not going to happen. If you are unhappy with that, just go somewhere else.

It's speculating at the moment unles Sky directly confirms.

True, but I bet I'm right. Sky really would like to get rid of the email service..

And no, I have no proof of that either. Still think I'm right.

It's a customer Community. It's very unlikely that Sky will reply.
