Moneysoft Payroll Email

Moneysoft Payroll Email

Didn't find your answer?

I've just completed a CIS return for a client, sent it off OK and was going to email the PAYE payslip to the client.

I got this message .....

Someone attempted to sign in to your Yahoo account (lionxxxxx) from an app that doesn't meet Yahoo's security standards. We blocked this sign-in attempt, which was made on: 
Sun, 9 Oct 2016 17:46 BST from United Kingdom

If you were trying to sign in, please take one of these actions: 
Option 1 (recommended): Use mail.yahoo.com or the Yahoo Mail app for Android and iOS to access your account more securely. 
Option 2 (not recommended): If you still want to use an app that uses less secure sign-in to your Yahoo account: 

Click here:https://login.yahoo.com/account/security#other-apps

Turn on ‘Allow apps that use less secure sign-in’

Go back to your existing email application and sign in to your Yahoo account again.

Using apps that don't meet Yahoo's recommended security standards may leave your account more vulnerable or less secure.

Anybody else had this ?   Or understands how to put it right ?

I can still download a pdf and send it on but it's a more long-winded business.......

I know yahoo have tightened up but I didn't know they were blocking emails if not using their web or phone app. You can follow option 2 which means you can then send the email from moneysoft, but personally I would acquire a gmail address for your business and kick yahoo into the ether.

Thanks, legerman.

Changing sounds a great idea but who's to say that gmail won't be next on the hacker's list ?
