I remove the password generated by yahoo for my iphone and mail is still active!

I installed 'second sign-in verification' on my Yahoo! account, and then generated a password for my iPhone.
First strange thing after that is that my yahoo mail account was still working. I removed the yahoo account and re-installed it and this time I had to use the password generated by Yahoo.
Now if you loose your iPhone, Yahoo explains that you should sign on to your PC or Mac and remove this generated password so no one can access your mail on your stolen or lost iPhone ( that's  what I installed 'second sign-in verification' ). So I gave it a try, removed it from Yahoo but my Yahoo account on my iPhone is STILL ACTIVE!!! I can send and receive messages, no problem at all.
So your yahoo account is absolutely not protected. This is a major security problem. Please help.

s it possible for apple to provide me with the last coordinates that my phone was at?
No
I didn't have find my iPhone and iCloud was not active.
Not smart.  Then all you can do is physically look for it.
is it possible to look at data such as pictures by plugging it into their computer??
no

  • I haven"t used the data on my phone for 2 month and I'm still getting a big bill why?

    I didn't use the data for 2 month on my phone and I still have to pay a big bill. This is the third big bill I have to pay. I deleted all the apps and turned of data and I still have to pay a big bill over what I was paying    why?

        Berzie,
    I understand how a large bill can be unexpected and unwanted. Does the bill advise as to the reason the bill is higher? Does it say how much data you went over on your plan? What plan are you currently on?

  • HT5661 how do I remove the password I just entered to protect my phone from others

    how do i remove the password I just created for Find My Phone to keep people from using my phone?

    The password is configured using Airport Utility in the Utilities folder. Use it to change the password. Be sure you use WPA2 security, as well.

  • How can I stop someone from receiving iMessages on their old disconnected iPhone, w'hich is still active in iMessage, when the number now belongs to someone else with a non apple device!?!

    To further clarify my dilemma ....
    A friend of mine just got a new phone number on her LG cell phone.
    When I try to text her, my messages are going to someone else's iPhone.
    The iPhone has been deactivated off the VZ cell network, but they are still using it on WIFI.
    They used to have this number on their iPhone, and it's still active in iMessage.
    So, when I try to send a text message to my friend on her LG, from my iPhone,
    they instead go to this total stranger, cuz they still have that number active in their iMessage account.
    This is a serious issue!!
    The only suggestion I get from apple support is to have my friend get a new number, or for me to turn off iMessage when I want to text her.
    Not really the optimum solution.
    Something really should be done to prevent this from happening!
    Strangers are effectively intercepting text messages!
    Help!?!

    Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

  • Satellite A350 - How can I remove the password?

    Hi every one
    I am Col and I have just joint the site
    I have a problem with my Satellite A350
    I bought this laptop from a trusted auction,not on the net, with the password attached unfortunately this password dont work, but the auction house clams it does,
    What is happening is when I turn it on the first screen you see wants a password, I put in the so called password that was given to me but it wont work. When I try to get into the BIOS setup it still wants the password before I can continue.
    This computer is using Vista and I cant even put the Vista disk back in because the DVD drive wont work because the op system has not booted
    I hope some one knows how to by pass the password or can help me. I have tried removing the internal battery but no go, my email is [email protected] if you want me to explain things better
    Thanks to every one
    Col

    Hi Col!
    These are not so good news
    Im not a Satellite A350 owner but if you want to remove the password you should contact an ASP and ask for help. The notebook technicians are know how to remove the password and so I think they can help you at best.
    On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

  • Hi Apple! My iphone 4g has restored and I can't retrieve the account. I have tried the password renewal that will be send on my mail but unfortunately my mail has been deactivated also.what is your solution for this kind of cases? This is so unfair.

    If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

    I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    Here I am using Java Type IV for database
    connection.
    So,there was no necessity of creating DNS.How your app communicates with db shouldn't matter for the end user. Still, you may want to use a functional network name also for the thin client driver connection string.
    So,is there any other way to solve this problem.What is the problem really? Do you not use dns for network naming? Maybe you have to manage the hosts file on every client then.

  • My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

    @My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

    Hello,
    two answers I found in my library about removing or finding unknown password:
    Removing: "Not with any Adobe products, and other products are not discussed on these forums..."
    Open a file: "The only way to open a password protected file is to know the password (there's no way to get around that). Hopefully you know who created the PDF and can get the password from them."

  • How do I remove the password step when renting movies?

    Hi Guys,
    How do I remove the password step when renting movies? I find the interface tedious and would like to eliminate this step.
    I figure I can police my account through my receipts from iTunes which are always itemised.
    Is there a place I can change the preferences to automatically allow downloads in my apple TV?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Chuck

    It actually asked last time I made a rental.
    Can't remember right now if there's an option in iTunes store Settings on the unit.
    Will check when I find my remote!
