Using on-demand passwords

00:00:03.266 --> 00:00:08.666
Are you tired of creating and remembering "secure" passwords?

00:00:08.666 --> 00:00:15.599
Are you worried others can use your password to access your account?

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:20.500
Yahoo's on-demand passwords let you access your account without relying on a memorized password

00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:26.433
We send a temporary password to your mobile device whenever you need to sign in

00:00:26.433 --> 00:00:29.266
Let's get started!

00:00:29.266 --> 00:00:32.165
Begin on the Yahoo home page

00:00:32.165 --> 00:00:34.332
Click your name

00:00:34.333 --> 00:00:37.666
Or begin on another Yahoo page

00:00:37.666 --> 00:00:40.499
Click the gear icon

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.733
Select Account info

00:00:43.733 --> 00:00:46.433
You may be asked to re-enter your password

00:00:46.433 --> 00:00:49.533
If so, type your current password and click Sign In

00:00:49.533 --> 00:00:52.533
Now you're on your account page

00:00:52.533 --> 00:00:55.933
Click Account security

00:00:55.933 --> 00:00:59.399
To use on-demand passwords, you first need to turn them on

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:02.733
Click here to begin

00:01:02.733 --> 00:01:06.733
Click Set up on-demand passwords

00:01:06.733 --> 00:01:09.733
Enter a mobile phone number where we can send you an opt-in verification code

00:01:09.733 --> 00:01:16.266
Enter the code that you receive on your phone

00:01:16.266 --> 00:01:19.199
Make sure that your account recovery information is up to date

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.233
If not, you could get locked out of your account!

00:01:22.233 --> 00:01:24.899
Click Looks good

00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:30.166
Congratulations! Your account now uses on-demand passwords

00:01:30.166 --> 00:01:34.466
The next time you need to sign in...

00:01:34.466 --> 00:01:37.899
Enter your user name as usual

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:40.866
Click Send my password

00:01:40.866 --> 00:01:44.866
We'll send a temporary password to your mobile device

00:01:44.866 --> 00:01:49.932
Enter the password, then click Sign In

00:01:49.933 --> 00:01:52.133
Congratulations! You're signed in!

00:01:52.133 --> 00:01:55.099
