How to turn on SSL for your Yahoo Mail

Yahoo mail has added SSL to more secure your email account, Previously Yahoo mail only supports https for login page after login, https convert to http, But from Now Yahoo mail provides Https for entire account.

If you sign in to Yahoo! Mail via a non-secure Internet connection such as a wireless network, your Yahoo! account is more vulnerable to hijacking. Non-secure networks make it easier for someone to impersonate you and gain full access to your Yahoo! account, including any sensitive data you may be storing. Enhance the security of your entire Yahoo! Mail session with HTTPS data encryption (via security socket layer, or SSL) and protect your account from hijackers and fraud.


By default yahoo did not turn on SSL, you have to enable it manually, check it below how to turn SSL for your yahoo mail account:-
