I got this message today from my ISP/Email provider. Will I still have access to my Frontier/Yahoo email account through T-Bird? Or am I going to be forced to deal with the crappy browser based access?Hi,
We noticed that you are accessing your Frontier Mail using a lower security sign-in that is sometimes used in third-party mail applications such as Outlook, IncrediMail, MacMail, Mozilla Thunderbird and others. This can leave your Frontier Mail account vulnerable.
Frontier email uses the Yahoo email platform. Yahoo is in the process of moving users using less secure apps to a newer, more secure email access technology. This security technology, known as OAuth, helps prevent unauthorized access to your username and password. With OAuth, your log in credentials are encrypted and better protected from hackers.
