Activate an Account Key Instead of Using a Password for Yahoo Email

Using an account key instead of a password for your Yahoo email adds an extra layer of security to your account. With an account key, you'll receive a prompt on your mobile device to confirm your identity whenever you try to access your email account. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access to your emails.

To activate an account key for your Yahoo email, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Yahoo account.
2. Go to your Account Info settings.
3. Select Account Security.
4. Click on the slider next to the 'Two-step verification' option to enable it.
5. Follow the prompts to set up your account key, which usually involves linking your mobile device to your Yahoo account.
6. Once your account key is set up, you can use it to access your Yahoo email instead of entering a password.

It's important to note that while using an account key is more secure than a password, you should still follow best practices such as regularly updating your account key and keeping your mobile device secure.
