Yahoo keeps making me wait an hour to log in
For the last 2-3 weeks, I'd say most mornings I'm now getting a message when I try to log into my Yahoo emails that there is a problem and I need to try again in 1 hour.
What is this about?

Re: Yahoo keeps making me wait an hour to log in
If you are using an app then setting it up as a "not yahoo" account should stop this from happening. Use these settings when setting it up again:
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:
