Re: POP3 authentication failed on blueyonder.co.uk
Hello Ashleigh, I have tried twice now without success. I did the following: "Please log in to My Virgin Media here > Click on Account settings > Virgin Media Mail settings > scroll down to the App password section and click the Generate new App password button." and I got this screen with my 3rd party email address in the two boxes below. No verification code arrived at the 3rd part email address. I sent an email from my blueyonder address to the 3rd party address to test was receiving and it arrived in a few minutes. I tried this yesterday afternoon and this afternoon. I don't where I am going wrong - please advise.Why multifactor authentication?
My email account is not a bank account so why do we have to have "multifactor authentication"? and who requires it? Having to have a 3rd parting email address as a user name for my virgin media email seems crazy to me. I regard this other email, which I don't normally check, as less safe than my blueyonder address. I really don't understand all this. Do I have to check that email account before I can get into the blueyonder email?
