Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) Today, at SXSW, Yahoo announced a new
intuitive option for users to login to their account without any
need for a password. Upon sign in, an on-demand password is texted
directly to a user’s mobile phone. Yahoo’s new authentication
option aims to ease anxiety around password memorization and
improve security for users.
Once a user opts-in, the next time they sign on, Yahoo will send
a secure password directly to their mobile phone. The on-demand
password option is now available for U.S. users.
Users can opt in to receive on-demand passwords with the
following simple steps:
1) Sign in to Yahoo.com.
2) Click on the user name at the top right corner to go to the
account information page.
3) Select “Security” in the left bar.
4) Click on the slider for “On-demand passwords” to opt-in.
5) Enter the phone number associated with the account and Yahoo
will send a verification code.
6) Enter the code to login.
