Updating your Rogers Yahoo Email Settings

No changes are required if you only check your email using Rogers Yahoo! Webmail. You can still use your username and personal password to log in as you normally do.

Customers who used the automatic Yahoo! setup option on the following mail clients are also good to go:

• Mail on iPhones and iPads running iOS 9.0 and above
• Mail on macOS 10.11/El Capitan and above
• Users of the Gmail client on Android phones and tablets running Lollipop/5.0 or newer
• Users of the Outlook Mobile app
• Users of the Yahoo! Mail app webmail and the Rogers Member Centre with only your personal password.

You'll need to update your settings if you use a Rogers Yahoo! email address with the following email programs:

• Microsoft Outlook
• Windows Mail or Live Mail
• Outlook Express
• Mail on macOS 10.10/Yosemite or older
• Mail on iPhones and iPads running iOS 8.0 and lower
• Other programs used to get email using either POP or IMAP

You may also need to change your settings if you're using older cell phones and tables or if you have manually set up a device for POP or IMAP using the “Other” option instead of the Yahoo! option.

To update your settings, you’ll need to create an App Password to use in place of your personal password for the email client you are using.

App Passwords are randomly generated, application-specific passwords that can be generated in the Rogers Member Centre. App Passwords provide a more secure way for programs that don’t support the new standard to check email because they will no longer send your personal password every time they log in.

If you need to use an App Password, we recommend that you create a separate one for each email program or device that requires it. This improves security for your account and allows you to remove access from a specific email program or device by deleting the individual App Password you created for it in the Member Centre. This can come in handy if your desktop/laptop or device has been lost or stolen.

While you will need to use these for your email client, you will continue to log in to webmail and the Rogers Member Centre with only your personal password.

1. Go to the sign in page.
2. Enter the Rogers Yahoo! email address and password for the account you’d like to create an App Password for. Select Next.
3. Mobile: Select the menu icon in the top-left corner, then Account Information.
   Desktop: Select Account Information in the top-right corner of your browser window.
4. Select Authorized Applications.
5. In the Name your password field, label your App Password with the name of the mail client it’s for, then select Generate.
6. Write down the randomly generated app password or copy it to your clipboard.
7. Enter the password in your email client using the instructions below. When you’re finished, select Done on the popup.
8. If you have another email client that needs an App Password, select Add Another. Or select the trash icon to delete an entry.

The instructions below will help you update your password with the App Password for the most common email clients. If you need help with a client that’s not in the list, the software manufacturer will best be able to assist you with this.

Note: These instructions are intended for Rogers Yahoo! email users only. If you use a Rogers Yahoo! account to send email from a non-Rogers Yahoo! address, we recommend that you reach out to your other provider. Most have now updated their servers so that this is no longer necessary. If they are unable to help, you can still create an App Password, however enter it in your Outbound Email Server settings only.
