2FA methods Yahoo [JP] supports#

How to keep your Yahoo [JP] account secure#
Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method Yahoo [JP] offers, and stay alert to phishing. See Yahoo [JP]'s official security documentation ↗. If Yahoo [JP] adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use Authenticator App - Novaz.
How to recover your Yahoo [JP] account#
If you lose access to your authenticator, most Yahoo [JP] accounts are recovered with the backup or recovery codes you saved when you turned on 2FA — so store them somewhere safe, separate from your phone. If you didn't save them, use Yahoo [JP]'s account-recovery or support process to regain access (see the official Yahoo [JP] documentation ↗). Saving your recovery codes when you enable 2FA is the single best way to avoid being locked out.
