I don't personally understand the security issues it is talking about. At the end of the day no-one gets into your account without the email address and password, so the technology used is somewhat less priority.

On the other hand, it is possible that you as a user are not being secure. Do you for example, ALWAYS type out your email address and password when you use email? Or did you in the past tick some option box so that you would be automatically logged in without having to do that? If the latter, that would be ill-advised imo.

There are no easy options for good security. It should be a pain to log into any secure account. Despite that, lots of particularly older people think its great to tick those boxes and have the PC remember their passwords. Go figure !

Overall I would ignore your Yahoo email unless you are doing something unsecure (i.e. not typing your password in every time). It reads more like an advert to me trying to get you to use their software.
I don't let the computer remember my passwords, but I don't think I can log out of my emails using the iPad.
Aha ... have changed the email thingy to something else and now I can log in and out on the iPad.

Hi Rachel. Computer bods have their own language so that the majority of us don't understand what they are talking about and we can be all impressed (not).

Re: Yahoo Mail ?

Yahoo has had a cyber break in by a foreign power so they are probably belatedly beefing up security. I don't use Yahoo but I still have a couple of accounts so I just changed the passwords.

If you are using an iPad just download the Yahoo app from the istore or whatever it is called.

If you are using a desktop make sure you are using https:// as opposed to logging in using http://

It was me trying to alter stuff but I don't know where to find this iOS thing.
Googled but the info was a few years out of date.
I don't like to click on links
