Yahoo two step verification is an extra layer of security for your Yahoo account. It is named two-step verification because the first step is your usual Yahoo mail login password, and the second step is the mobile phone that you’ll require to complete the sign in procedure. This means, even if someone has your Yahoo password, they cannot login to your account without access to your mobile phone.
This article will guide you through the procedure to enable the two-step authentication in detailed steps. And, how you can sign in to your Yahoo account afterwards.
