Re: [Skunkworks] How to make Yahoo mail stop asking me to enter captcha?

@Dickson, apparently you have not answered the guys question and so you have not been very helpful, I'm sorry. Anyway as said earlier yahoo is trying to confirm that it is you and its for your own protection.
Yahoo is used to you accessing it using your laptop and this time around it has detected you are access its services from "a strange" location and just wants to be sure ts you.
This is not unique to yahoo. Several sensitive sites I interact with including my bank, will throw an extra layer of security if I use a totally new computer. One major company actually goes the extra mile to ask me to call in to confirm additional information via phone
So to answer the question, the best thing is to not try disable it but use a trusted computer and it will not ask you to go through the captcha process

Yahoo and many other security cautious websites use cookies to track you.... some use far more like when you go to a different region and any other things, but anyway, on your personal computer the cookie is pretty much a constant and stuck on the same user or a couple of others at most. Now once you hit a cyber or an other public computer, the cookie dropped on that machine iterates over dozens of users a day so when you use that computer too Yahoo cannot guarantee that you are who you say you are and so it needs an extra layer of verification as such computer are more like to host malicious activity. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Job Muriuki" <muriukin@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Miércoles, 16 de Enero 2013 11:20:10 | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] How to make Yahoo mail stop asking me to | enter captcha? | What happens when using a public comp like in a cyber? | On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 11:18 AM, Steve Obbayi < steve@sobbayi.com > | wrote: | | @Dickson, apparently you have not answered the guys question and so | | you have not been very helpful, I'm sorry.
