Yahoo has confirmed what most of us already know, that the password system is antiquated and does not protect you from anything.
The tech giant has taken the first step to eliminate passwords, creating an "on-demand" password system that allows you to login with just your username and a unique code that is sent to your registered linked phone.
Basically, the system is like two-step authentication, although without the password portion of it, so in essence it seems just as secure as normal two-step but with the added luxury of not needing to remember a password.
If you live in the U.S., you can activate the new on-demand system now through the account info page and then "security."
