Yahoo Mail Login

yahoo mailYahoo Mail is one of the most popular web email services next to Windows Live Mail and Google Mail on the Internet. The Yahoo Mail login information can also be used on other Yahoo owned web services and properties including Flickr and Yahoo Messenger. This is similar to Google’s web based mail service Gmail which also shares the login with other Google services.

Yahoo Mail accounts are hit by phishing attacks regularly and Yahoo recommends to perform the Yahoo Mail Login only at the official Yahoo website and not at other websites (unless they are also owned by Yahoo).

The official Yahoo Mail login website is https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym. Another option is to visit the main Yahoo website and open the Yahoo Mail login website from there. The Yahoo Mail login screen should look exactly like the screen above except for the red stars and rectangle around the username and password fields. Those are added by the Last Pass password manager add-on that is available for several web browsers including Firefox and Internet Explorer. Last Pass can automatically fill out the Yahoo Mail login data and perform the login as well. Best of all, it is a very good protection against phishing attempts as the Yahoo user does not need to enter any data in the login form at the Yahoo Mail website.

Yahoo has created a password helper application for Yahoo Mail that can aid users if they cannot login into Yahoo Mail. It can help when users have forgotten their Yahoo Mail username or password.
