No need to create complicated, hard-to-remember passwords anymore! Yahoo Account Key lets you sign in to your account without using a memorized password. To sign in, you'll just need to tap "Yes" on the notification we send to your phone. With Account Key enabled, there isn't a password on your account, so no one other than you can sign in to your account.
Before you get Yahoo Account Key you must have the latest version of the app so that Account Key appears under settings. If you don't see the option for Account Key listed in the app, you'll need to update the app.
Enable Yahoo Account Key
Keep in mind - when you activate Account Key, we ask you to test the notification by tapping 'yes' and 'no' so you know exactly how it works.
Open a Yahoo app that supports Account Key, like Yahoo Mail, and then tap the Profile image Image of the Profile icon (view account)..

Android steps

Tap the Account Key icon Image of the Account Key icon.

Voila! No more passwords. Next time you sign in, you'll just need to enter your username and click Continue. Yahoo will then send your phone a notification to approve. If you have more than one Yahoo app, you'll need to approve only one of the notifications.
