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.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail
Simply because it's not a feature Sky chooses to provide.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail
Not great for security reasons though, is it?

Re: Yahoo SkyMail
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.

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

Re: Yahoo SkyMail
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.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail
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.

Re: Yahoo SkyMail
It's a customer Community. It's very unlikely that Sky will reply.
