why do I have to enter a verification word in yahoo mail?
All of a sudden, when I send an email in yahoo I have to enter a verification word before it will send. Does anyone know why or how I get it to stop? I've never had this problem before and I can't find answers in yahoo help.
I understand it is for security reasons but why is it doing it all of a sudden? I never had a problem sending emails before, and it is my primary email address I use it all the time. How do I get it to stop?
Will it eventually stop if I verify it enough?
Thanks

It is completely random, and you cant turn it off.
It is to make sure that you are an actual person and not a spam-bot.
Usually the more messages you send, the more often you will have to verify...
