The world of technology is evolving at a fast pace. With that has
evolved the ways of crimes. With the emergence of the digital world, the
greatest threat to our privacy is the cybercrime.
Cybercrime is the major concern in the present time. From stealing
your digital cash to influencing the upcoming election, digital thugs become a
potential threat to our digital lives.
Amidst all, one of the major concerns of securities is our e-mail
account. We use this electronic mode of communication often in our day to day
life.
Most of the businesses from small to medium to large scale
enterprises use an email account to establish communication among various
departments in and out of an organization.
Yahoo mail, one of the oldest and effective modes of email is
highly secured mailing platform. But sometimes, even the small ignorance would
leave your Yahoo e-mail account with the threat of hacking or if you are lucky,
an infinite array of spam emails.
To make your Yahoo mail account more secured, Yahoo emailtechnical support team have come up with 3 small yet most effective ways that
would provide your Yahoo mail account up-scale security.
Let’s move ahead and learn the following 3 ways:
1. Always
Use a Secure Password
Using a secure password by including symbols and numbers is not a
big deal. Rather creating a password which is easy to remember but hard to
guess is the real genius.
The former manager at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, Bill Burr, has jotted a guide to create a secure password in the
year 2003. He then suggested that the best way of doing this is by taking
symbols, numbers and numerous characters which would make a password strong.
The flaw in his theory was that different numbers and characters
though form a strong password which is difficult to remember but on the same
hand, such passwords are also easy to hack.
Later Bill realized the flaw in his theory and rectified the
error. In the newer version, he suggested that to make a strong yet easy to
remember password, one can take any four random letters and put them together,
For e.g. viper-sausage-armchair-hotel.
Such passwords are not only easy to remember but are also
difficult to guess. So to make your Yahoo email account boasted with a secured
password, flick through your dictionary and select any four random words.
2. Yahoo!
Mail’s Account Key
One of the smartest features that Yahoo caters to its users is the
Yahoo Mail’s Account Key. In this feature, Yahoo allows a person to log-in into
your Yahoo mail account without entering a password.
Whenever you login into your email account, Yahoo Mail Account Key
sends a notification to your smartphone for the access.
This feature is quite new. To access this feature, you require a smartphone
and a Yahoo App. Following are the steps you should follow to use this smart
feature:
1. Enter into your Yahoo mail account and click on your name at
the top right.
2. Select account info.
3. Go to account security.
4. Under the option Secure your account with Yahoo Account Key, do
select See how it works.
5. Now select the device on which you want to get notified.
6. Select send me notification.
7. Click on the Approve icon on your device.
8. On your browser, click on Always use Yahoo account Key
9. Enter your mobile number.
3. 2 Steps
Verification
This is most simple yet most ignored feature which we almost
forget every time. In this two steps verification process, whenever you log-in
into your account with the new device, you will receive a verification e-mail
either on your mobile number or on another email address to confirm your
identity.
Just to make it clear to you, the Yahoo email user who has opted
for two steps verification process cannot use the Yahoo Account Key
simultaneously.
