Hello. I hope someone can help with the following
I have been using Yahoo Mail with Chrome installed on a Windows 7 desktop PC for many years. Very occasionally in this period I have changed passwords.
Just recently Yahoo Mail looks like it has introduced 2FA login by default, no doubt to the benefit of security. In addition however it appears that I cannot now log in without going through the reset password routine each time. I am not aware of making any changes that would account for this.
I have replicated this occurrence with MS Edge (on same PC)
At the end of each session I regularly clear browsing history, caches, passwords etc (Shift+Ctrl+Del) and CCleaner.
Can anyone account for this in any way and is there anything I can do to revert to the previous state (keeping the original password)?
Thanks
Iain Fergusson
