Use Yahoo Mail? You should enable this security option as soon as possible

It has taken Yahoo a long time ridiculously, but it has finally launched an option that will help protect users' privacy when accessing their web-based email - HTTPS.
Yahoo Mail has lagged behind competitors like Hotmail (in the process of renaming Outlook.com) and Gmail by not allowing users to access their email via HTTPS.
If you do not enable full session HTTPS for your email, anyone on your WiFi network can read any email you write and receive with tools like FireSheep, as they are passed from Yahoo to your browser. yours.
That is because, without HTTPS, they are sent in unencrypted text.
If you are using Yahoo Mail, my advice is to enable this security option as soon as possible. Here's how you do it:
+ Select "Mail Options / Options" on your main Yahoo Mail screen
+ Select "General"
+ Select "Enable SSL".
Unfortunately, Yahoo has disabled HTTPS / SSL settings by default, meaning users are required to enable this feature if they want better security. Hopefully in the future, Yahoo will decide to enable this option by default - as with Gmail, Hotmail and Outlook.com.
Now, there is so much hope that AOL can be the next person to implement the HTTPS option for his email service?
