*Sign in with Yahoo using app password

Picture Keeper needs you to create an app password in your Yahoo account in order to search and backup your e-mail attachments from Yahoo. You will need to use this specific password to sign in to your Yahoo account within the Picture Keeper (Pro) software.

The app password is similar to a temporary password, those who have the app password will have access to your e-mails, but the access can be revoked easily without impacting your access to your Yahoo account.

Picture Keeper (Pro) software will only save this app password on your own computer, which means we won't have access to your e-mails.
