Yahoo mail wants my cell number to log in now | |
Shoot straight Johnny User ID: 23114216 United Kingdom 09/03/2012 01:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I use yahoo mail, have done since the beginning of my time on the net, and it has never asked me for my number before logging me in. In fact I checked my mail about 10 minutes ago. No problem. But I use yahoo mail uk. I don't know if that's any different. The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

Do you get e mails sent to a cell phone? I realize that it has to be routed to the phone. But I do not want to weed through a bunch of crap calls and texts, besides the obvious reasons that I don't want to give it. “If Noah’s flood really did occur, what would you expect to find? Billions of dead things, buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth.” And guess what we find? Billions of dead things, buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth. |

Shoot straight Johnny User ID: 23114216 United Kingdom 09/03/2012 01:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, but I can log on using my phone if I want to. Come to think of it, I might have given them my phone number all those years ago when I signed up, so that's why they don't ask me for it now.

Passin' Through (OP) User ID: 14422899 United States 09/03/2012 01:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I logged into my other accounts, yahoo and others, and do have this issue no matter who the provider is. The only one asking me is the only one that I have ever had connected to a cell phone. So I guess they already have it to send it to my phone. We know that privacy is just a word anymore anyway. Thanks for the input. “If Noah’s flood really did occur, what would you expect to find?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23116370 United States 09/03/2012 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | all the freebie email providers ask for your cell number now. they all also have an "opt out" link in the request page (though usually fine font and not obvious). just look for it when you sign on and they ask for the number... ive got like 5 yahell accounts, a few gmail, and a couple hotmail. all work, and none have been given my number. rather than going all goggle eyed paranoid, READ the whole page before you come here. |

There is not a continue option and it is only on the e mail account attached to my phone. “If Noah’s flood really did occur, what would you expect to find?

yahooood User ID: 24174805 United States 09/21/2012 10:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seeing no other option, i finally broke down and entered my work phone. The phone immediately rang and gave me the verification code for my account access. What the heck was the point of that? If someone had hacked my account, they would just enter their number and get the code. Security my A$$, they just want more personal info to sell. |
