Protect Your Yahoo! Mail Account
Yahoo! mail service is probably the most popular e-mail account in the world at this moment. How many of us didn’t create an e-mail address with Yahoo! more than 10 years ago? So, our relationship with this e-mail provider goes a long way and we cannot ignore it.
To make the necessary changes in your e-mail account, you need to access your Yahoo! mail profile settings:
Update your contact information
It is important to add an alternative e-mail address and a mobile phone number so that you may be contacted in case of trouble. If you have problems in accessing your online e-mail account, you can have a recovery link sent to the alternative e-mail address or an SMS message delivered to your mobile phone.
Set up your second sign-in verification
This is probably the most important security setting you can set in your Yahoo! account. This second step verification adds an extra level of protection for your e-mail address. To activate this security step, you need to add your phone number to the Yahoo! account. At the same time, you have the possibility to set 2 additional security questions for an easier access to your online account. Setting these security questions and choosing them for the second sign-in verification allows you a faster and easier access.
