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?

Are you using an email app? Can you log in OK here: https://www.sky.com/signin/email

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:
