Email app passwords · Sky Sky app passwords
Sky app passwords
no longer work.
Sky withdrew app-password generation in 2026 — mail apps now sign in with your ordinary Sky iD password. If you're hunting for the app-password screen and can't find it, that's why.
Applies to sky.com addresses.
Step by step
What to do instead.
- Use your Sky iD password — the one you sign in to Sky with — as the password in your mail app.
- Enter your full @sky.com address as the username.
- If an app password you created before 2026 still works, you can keep using it; only creating new ones was withdrawn.
Worth knowing
- Sky deletes mailboxes that go unused for 12 months or more. Signing in to Sky Yahoo webmail at least every six months keeps the account alive — auto-forwarding does not count as activity.
- Emails claiming your @sky.com address is closing on a specific date are phishing. Sky has not closed the service.
