How do i end 2 factor authentication with yahoo mail
To disable two-factor authentication (2FA) on Yahoo Mail, you'll need to follow these steps:
Method 1: Disable 2FA through the Yahoo Account Info page
- Go to the Yahoo Account Info page (https://info.yahoo.com/).
- Sign in with your Yahoo email address and password.
- Click on "Account Info" at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the "Account Security" section.
- Click on "Two-factor authentication" under the "Security" heading.
- Click on "Disable" next to "Two-factor authentication".
- Confirm that you want to disable 2FA by clicking "Disable" again.
Method 2: Disable 2FA through the Yahoo Mail settings
- Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the page.
- Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Account" section.
- Click on "Account security" under the "Settings" heading.
- Click on "Two-factor authentication" under the "Security" heading.
- Click on "Disable" next to "Two-factor authentication".
- Confirm that you want to disable 2FA by clicking "Disable" again.
Important notes:
- Disabling 2FA will make your account less secure, as it will no longer require a second form of verification (such as a code sent to your phone or a biometric scan) in addition to your password.
- If you're using 2FA to protect your account from unauthorized access, you may want to consider using an alternative method, such as a password manager or a security key, to add an extra layer of security.
- If you're having trouble disabling 2FA or need help with the process, you can contact Yahoo's customer support for assistance.
