Missing Yahoo’s Second Sign-in verification
The reason I use Gmail as my main email account is security. Gmail allows a password-reset code to be sent to your mobile phone, just in case you would need a password reset. They also have security codes sent to your phone in case someone tries to access your account. They call it “2-step verification.” So unless the unauthorized accessor of the account has your phone, s/he would not be able to login. It’s sort of an RSA token code used to authenticate in VPN of big companies.
But then again, I also have two Yahoo accounts – one personal, the other for business. Yahoo has a similar offering with that of a code that Google has. They call it “second sign-in verification.” If you login to your account using a non-recognized device or computer, Yahoo will prompt you to enter the verification code sent to your phone.
My problem, however, is that this second-sign in verification does not apply to one of my two Yahoo accounts. I have two mobile numbers, differentiated only by a number (different networks though)
This is my account that has the 2-step verification:
The other account that has NO 2-step verification:
I searched in Yahoo Help to no avail. Anyone else who has this problem?
