Now, is it too much to hope that AOL might be the next to implement a HTTPS option for its email service?įollow on Twitter for the latest computer security news. Hopefully in time, Yahoo will decide to enable the option by default – as it is with Gmail, Hotmail and. It’s unfortunate that Yahoo has made the HTTPS/SSL setting disabled by default, meaning that users are required to turn it on if they want better privacy. Select “Options/Mail Options” on your main Yahoo Mail screen.For more information on Yahoo India, please visit the FAQ. We thank you for your support and readership. Your Yahoo Account, Mail and Search experiences will not be affected in any way and will operate as usual. If you are using Yahoo Mail, my advice is to enable this privacy option as soon as possible. As of August 26, 2021, Yahoo India will no longer be publishing content. That’s because, without HTTPS, they are sent as unencrypted text. If you don’t have full-session HTTPS turned on for your webmail, anybody on your WiFi network could read any of the emails you write and receive using a tool like FireSheep, as they are transmitted from Yahoo to your browser. Yahoo Mail has lagged behind competitors such as Hotmail (in the process of being rebranded ) and Gmail by not allowing users to access their email through HTTPS. It has taken Yahoo a ridiculously long time, but it is finally rolling out an option that will help protect users’ privacy when accessing their web-based email – HTTPS.
