Yahoo's New Email App Dumps Passwords

Yahoo had announced earlier a password-free Yahoo Mail app that can manage email accounts from Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL Mail. There was no mention of syncing with Gmail or Apple's iCloud Mail. Yahoo has been working to improve email security in the wake of repeated hacks of the service over the years, the most prominent occurring early last year when it had to reset users' passwords after hackers stole an undisclosed number of them. The password-free feature may be an extension of the secure disposable passwords capability Yahoo introduced in March. That feature requires users to turn off two-factor authentication, and it's not clear whether the password-free feature has the same requirement. The new Yahoo Mail app works on desktops and mobile devices.
