How it works: when users who sign up for account key try to access yahoo mail,they will no longer need to enter their password.The account key service will send a message to your smartphone connected to the account.
With a tap on yes or no,users can indicate it is a legitimate attempt to get into the account or deny unauthorised access.

Recently in a blog post on yahoo's tumblr page,the vice president of product management,Dylan Casey,said Account key is more secure than the traditional passwords because it prohibits anyone from signing in to access an account without the verification that account key provides.
A security manager with symantec,Satnam Narang,called the approach "a step above password",but also said that the process is a two factor authentication,which requires users to confirm their identity with two different pieces of information.
He also expressed doubts that most of the users will let password die easily and encouraged widespread adoption of password management tools until a new verification method replaces them for good.
In addition to account key verification,Yahoo executives announced a latest version of yahoo mail that allows users to connect with,manage and search outlook,hotmail and AOL email accounts while signed into their Yahoo account.
The new email service will also connect to twitter,Linkedln and Facebook to add photos and you can also create contacts cards,with email,telephone and social media information for contacts.
