Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Yahoo Mail!

Enabling 2FA for your Yahoo Mail account adds an extra layer of security to protect your account from unauthorized access. Here's how to set it up:

Method 1: Using the Yahoo Account Key

3. Scroll down to the "Account security" section.
4. Click on "Account Key" and then "Get started."
5. Follow the prompts to set up your Account Key. You'll need to scan a QR code using the Google Authenticator app or enter a verification code sent to your phone.
6. Once set up, you'll need to enter the verification code sent to your phone every time you sign in to your Yahoo Mail account.

Method 2: Using a Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) app

1. Sign in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Click on your profile picture or avatar in the top right corner, then select "Account info" from the dropdown menu.
3. Scroll down to the "Account security" section.
4. Click on "Two-factor authentication" and then "Get started."
5. Select "Authenticator app" as your 2FA method.
6. Choose a TOTP app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy) and scan the QR code provided.
7. Enter the verification code generated by your TOTP app every time you sign in to your Yahoo Mail account.

Tips and Reminders

• Make sure to save your 2FA setup information securely, as you'll need it to access your account if you lose your phone or device.
• If you're using a TOTP app, ensure you have the app installed and configured correctly before enabling 2FA.
• If you're having trouble setting up 2FA, you can contact Yahoo's support team for assistance.
• Remember to keep your 2FA setup information confidential to prevent unauthorized access to your account.

By enabling 2FA for your Yahoo Mail account, you'll significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access and keep your account more secure.
