Add two-step verification for added security in Yahoo account

Enable two-step verification to require a code (in addition to your password) every time an attempt is made to log in from a new device or browser. We will send you a text message or call you with a new code that you must enter when you log in. The phone number with which we communicate may be different each time.

  1. Log in and go to the security page of your account.
  2. Next to "Two-step verification," click the Switch button to activate it. Image of the toggle button in the On position.
  3. Enter your cell number.
  4. Click Send SMS or Call me to get a verification code.
  5. Enter the verification code, then click Verify.
  6. If you access Yahoo Mail in third-party applications, click Create application passwords or click Skip for now.
