  • Received Email that I had requested to 'Recover Access' to my account?

    I did not make any request. The email appears to be real as it has the purple Y in the email list.

    So is this some hacker trying to get in? I can't see how it would work for them as the email comes to me and not them. Also, the 'Account Key' they gave was alpha characters while all of the codes I've ever seen to verify my account have been numbers.

    Here is the text of the email (I've replaced my email address and the 'key' with junk ;) )

  • How do I turn off Streaming Quotes?

    The Help Page, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/quotes/fi... says there is an option on the Gear Icon, but I only see Account Info (which just redisplays the current page with a different URL), Help, and Suggestions. I recall the option being there before, but it is now gone. What can I do to stop it?
