‘Yahoo’s New Email Option: No Password, No Problem’ – ‘Entrepreneur’ Blog
Carly Okyle says, “There are so many passwords to remember — email, bank accounts, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, news subscriptions, just to name a few. Trying to keep in mind which combination of letters and numbers and symbols goes to what site can be frustrating and time-consuming, which is probably why people routinely use obvious ones that are easy to remember — and easy to hack.
Knowing this, Yahoo has created a way to permit access to their email without entering passwords, which it introduced at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on Sunday.
Yahoo’s new system allows for a one-time use password to be sent to users’ phones on-demand whenever they want to log into their accounts. The company’s director of product management, Chris Stoner, explained the steps to using this method in a blog post. Yahoo users can opt in through the security tab on their account information page“.
