Yahoo beefs up account security by launching temporary passwords for its Android and iOS apps
To enable the feature, go into your Yahoo account settings, turn on second sign-in verification, and generate a one-time app password. Next, enter the password in your mobile app, and your device will be permanently logged-in.
If you misplace your device, you can easily revoke access to each individual app and device from the settings page. This means whoever finds your device will be locked out of your Yahoo apps even though you left them logged-in.
This also means you don�t have to change your Yahoo password when you lose your device. That being said, you should probably change your password as often as possible.
If you�re as annoyed with Yahoo�s small screenshots as we are, you�ll like this YouTube video for explaining the new feature a bit better:
