@Troutman17  yes Last pass is safe

@ChesterDrawers 

I use LastPass myself. It's pretty secure.
I meant, if you look in the LastPass safe, you can see an edit button to change the link or delete the old link and create a new log in link.

Why are you posting or commenting about the Yahoo logon page or trying to logon or attempting to logon to your email account using the Yahoo logon page when you have stated that you are on the BTMail system?

You should be using the correct logon page for BTMail not Yahoo as has been shown in message 1879.

Don't worry, I'm not 'using' the link to Yahoo. What happened was that it jumped out of nowhere on to my screen, while I was in the middle of some 'normal' BT email actions, and it has given us a little amusement, as others then trying to investigate found that the link brought up the photograph of the switchboard girls on their screens.

We are not trying to use it to get into the BT email system, BT 'threw'  the strange link at us.

The BT page has been coming up with anomalies recently - sometimes with a strange reference to a 'Federation' - for me sometimes showing itself as 'not secure'. (as it is currently for me, although refreshing the page should bring its locked padlock back - as it has!). This seems internal to the BT page (and very possibly to some hidden (to us) software or setting anomaly on our systems). But this weirdness isn't happening to other Web Pages (or at least, not to mine) which suggests it lies somewhere deep in BT coding.

Yep, I also have been getting the 'Federation' error, I was just curious what it actually meant? Maybe it's a VIP web mail which BT accidentally was directing me to before realising I was just an ordinary pleb LOL

Have BT done their 'upgrade'/maintenance which they stated they had scheduled for August, September and October.  I've noticed no improvements - same old slow rubbish.

It is interesting that my 'residual' presence on Yahoo - following BT's move away - has generated a 32 random character (numbers, upper and lower case) user name for me on Yahoo (actually, as an email address, which it is, wholly unusable) - but I have given it a new password and it works. I'm not sure Yahoo should have stored an ID for me at all, once BT severed ties with it, but that's another issue.  On the other hand, it was me (to get and use BT email) who initially generated the relationship, so I suppose Yahoo's contact was with me, with BT acting as an 'introductory' agent. I haven't tried it, but it might be possible to link my BT email (via EMAP?) to the Yahoo mail page. As Thunderbird is working OK for me I can't be bothered to work out how.
