Signing In
You can use the Verizon Yahoo! Browser without signing in, but to take full advantage of the Browser's features, you must sign in to Verizon Yahoo!. When you are signed in, you will see these additional features:
- Quick access to all of your Verizon Yahoo! services including your Verizon Yahoo! Mail, Verizon Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Search, and much more.
- The Verizon Yahoo! Sidebar, which gives you personalized Verizon Yahoo! content wherever you are on the web.
- The option of signing in to all of your services with a single sign-in process.
The first time you launch the Browser, enter your sign-in information in the Sign-In window.
