I always get emails from Yahoo sending me verification codes. The last one was for a log in in Vietnam. I understand this is for my 2 factor verification that I setup for my email. But is my account at risk?

So it's difficult but possible to hack with 2 factor authentication as one can be tricked into relinquishing ones email information. Phishing for example is popular with hackers.
Nothing is 100% safe when your on the internet...right?
Hope this answers your question?

Welcome to the Webroot Community,
Have you done a Google search encase others are having the same issue? It could be someone trying to access your account in which after a couple of times of getting your password wrong, one can use the “Trouble Signing In” Yahoo link. Which could be causing all your emails from Yahoo. Also I would not click on any of those email links that you are getting. Go to Yahoo directly.
HTH?

+3I understand that someone is trying to log in my yahoo mail. And I don’t believe anyone can just log into my account because I have 2 factor authentication. I was curious however if someone can still hack into my account despite 2 factor authentication? thanks!
