Two-step verification is the way in which you can add extra security to your email account. This method adds an additional security layer to your account so that no unwanted person can get access to your account. This is necessary because only having a unique username and password are not enough to secure your account. Same is the case for Yahoo account where you have to add your phone number so that whenever someone tries to log in to your account, you will receive a text on your phone. For the detailed information about the verification process, you can make a call to the technical executives at the Yahoo Support Number.

To enable the two-step verification for your Yahoo mail account, log into your Yahoo account and follow the steps given below:

  1. Firstly, click on the icon of your account and then select the ‘Account Info’ option.

  2. A new tab will open where you have to click on the ‘Account Security’ option.

  3. There will be an option for two-step verification; you have to move that option towards the ‘On’ position.

  4. Then you are required to enter your mobile number and after that select, anyone out of the two options i.e. ‘Call Me’ or ‘Send SMS’ so as to receive the authentication code.

  5. After selecting the suitable method for receiving the code, you will receive a text or call with the verification code.

  6. Then enter the verification code received and click on ‘Verify’.

  7. Now, your Yahoo mail account is secured with the two-step verification.

After enabling the two-step verification for your Yahoo account, you will be asked to enter a verification code which you will receive on your mobile number previously entered by you. This is how no other person will be able to enter into your account as no one else will have access to your phone number.
