Few days back, I came to know that many of my friends email accounts were hacked. But the point is now every sites like yahoo and gmail provides more security so that you get notified immediately whenever your password changes or whenever someone login to your accounts. So in today's post. I will show you, how to enable notifications of login so that you can get notifications whenever someone logins from your account, by this way you'll come to know someone is accessing your account and also they will not be able to login unless they will have your mobile. 


Follow below procedure to enable 2-Step Verification to protect your accounts :

  1. First of all, Login to your yahoo account with username and password.
  2. On top-left corner beside "Hi" Click on your account name and from the drop-down list select "Account Info"
  3. In Account Info Page, under Sign-In and Security, select Set up Your Second Sign-in Verification
  4. In Set up Your Second Sign-in Verification page, Enable the Check box Your second sign-in verification is turned on.
