Don't want ask for security code anymore
Usually, when you are using a different computer (and not the one that you usually use to access Yahoo Mail), or from a different location (e.g. you are in a different city, state or country than your home location), Yahoo knows that. And, it asks you for additional (security) information, to make sure it is YOU ... and not someone else who has stolen your account id and password.
So, the additional security questions that you'd provided is meant to protect you.
One way to avoid/skip this (being asked security question, etc.) is to use your (regular) computer all the time to access your Yahoo mail account ... e.g. an not different computers. Another way is to check off the box "Keep me signed in" when you log into your account.... and (depending on the period you'd selected in your Accounts profile), you will stay signed in ... for as long as you want (presumably on your own/regular computer) until you sign off.
Turn off Yahoo second sign-in verification
To prevent unauthorized account access, Yahoo uses an authentication feature known as "second sign-in verification." It asks you to verify a security question, or a code texted to your mobile device, when a login attempt is made on your account from a new location or device.
Disabling second sign-in verification
Important: Once disabled, you will no longer receive notifications when you access your account from a new location.
- A "Turn Off Second Sign-In Verification?" pop-up window appears.
SOURCE: how do we change the password of our yahoo I.D.
There should be a link that says "Forgot your password?" Click on this, and they will send an email to your Yahoo email account. In this email, there will be a link to "create a new password."
