WHICH EMAIL TO USE?

I mean why are you not changing passwords on critical services every week and use two factor identification?

lol, its not like I am negotiating with North Korea to buy nukes or anything, there is nothing in my email that needs to be secure and I wouldn't care if it was all posted on a public bulletin board . I just use it to get messages from friends

(probably got myself on the NSA watch list for saying that lol)

I change passwords when I feel its time, I don't want or need to be REQUIRED to do it every 2 weeks because yahoo's buggy software cant seem to remember I already changed it. plus this is all to resolve a hack that happened back in 2014 !!!! so its a bit late for that by now.

all this just started last month and you call them and they say they aren't even in control of their own software, if it says you need to do something then you have to do it or get locked out of your own account !!!!!!!!!!!!

intresting. I have been using Yahoo! Mail for many years and it has never demanded me to change my password. There are ofcourse two potential explanations a) I pay for them for their ad free premium version and b) I use British (@yahooo.co.uk) version of service.

As for alternatives I can only offer Live or Gmail but those are just as ad stuffed as standard Yahoo unless you use something to block ads (as I do, except here in subsim).

You are welcome Neal. BTW I see ads in top right and below forum/thread title. Is that as it should be or is something missing?

Sorry for this minor derailment.
