Yahoo on Wednesday said that it has introduced a new system which allows users to log into their own accounts with Yahoo’s mobile app, without entering a password.
According to Yahoo, the new system only works for people who have a profile with the Account Key system and have installed the Yahoo Mail app on their Smartphones.
“Users get a message pushed to their phone every time someone tries to sign in to their Yahoo account,’’ it noted.
It added that the message lists which browser has been used, the location of the device being used to seek access, as well as the date and time.
“The user simply gives a finger tap on a “yes’’ button to approve,’’ Yahoo added. (dpa/NAN)
