Yahoo scam??
Sorry, I just can't tell for sure...Is this legit?
Thanks!! Yahoo! Hey Yahoo Member, Just in case you missed our prior emails, we’re letting you know that Yahoo Mail will no longer support third-party applications (such as third-party email, calendar, or contact applications that weren't developed by Yahoo) using outdated sign-in methods. We’ve noticed you might be using one, so we need you to make some changes before 20 October 2020. Please take one of the actions below to keep your inbox running securely: Option 1: We recommend that you access your email using our free Yahoo Mail app for iOS and Android or simply go to mail.yahoo.com to access Yahoo Mail on the web. Option 2: Keep your current, non-Yahoo app, BUT follow a few steps to get it to sync with our secure sign-in method. The steps vary across different email applications, but in most cases, you will have to remove your Yahoo account from the app and then add it back again to update the sign-in security. Use the links below to follow the specific steps for your current application: iOS Mail Gmail Samsung Mail Others Option 3: You can generate a one-time, unique password that will allow you to sign in to your account using your non-Yahoo email application. Once created, this password will continue to allow your app to securely sync your Yahoo email unless you sign out (or are signed out) from your app. You can find instructions on how to do this here. If you have questions or need an option you don’t see above, visit our help page. Thanks for using Yahoo Mail. We’re always glad to deliver on what you need. Yours in your inbox, The Yahoo Team

That's legit or at least seems legit based on stuff that I've been through with them. They've been changing for some time. I think I had to make some config changes earlier this year or late last year.
It's not that you can't use 3rd party apps, it's that they are requiring some new security feature that not all apps support. I had Outlook on my previous computer, and to get outlook to work, I had to setup one of their security keys. Now that I'm on Mac, Mac Mail supports the new security feature. I wouldn't use a link out of the email, but would search yahoo or whoever your email is through (ATT, etc.. use yahoo mail services) for a website with the correct settings.

Too big to fail

The real Yahoo scam was how Marissa Mayer extracted $186M for driving it into the ground.

Ok...I've got to ask. What is this treatment? Do the last four letters mean what I think?
(never heard of it before)
