Torolol Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 one account to rule'em all poses privacy threats, and might pose real physical threats if you dabble against religious/cult & politics folks. Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'd rather have flickrs free 1tb on a random photo account, say "photoguppy@yahoo.com" then use one sole login for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted April 29, 2014 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah this is a bummer but the Flickr service is far too good to worry about owning a Yahoo account. Carbon Fiber and Draconian Guppy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted April 29, 2014 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2014 I think yahoo is just trying everything they can to bring back business because a lot of people keep forgetting they exist.

Dane Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I made some random yahoo account that will be used only for flickr. I used to have a yahoo account for everything. Spam spam and spam. Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Create an alternative username for Flickr... like Guppy and I did. No worries about email or junk. No need to touch their email client. Write down your new login and place it in safe place. Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 ummm, I don't see the problem here ? it's just a Yahoo account, technically even when you signed in with FB and Google it was still a yahoo account, you don't need a yahoo email address. I have a yahoo account I use for flickr but the mail is still my google account, also known as my spam account. I don't really like mixing accounts like flickr and FB/google anyway.

fintechfooty Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Where does everyone get the notion that Yahoo is terrible? :huh: Sorry i'd like to be in the loop :shifty: astropheed and Draconian Guppy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Meh, personally I want nothing to do with Flickr now and have dumped it completely. I never really wanted anything to do with Flickr anyways after Yahoo got their dirty little mits on it. 500px on the other hand, is looking pretty good! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. S. Veteran Posted April 29, 2014 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thisismyflickraccount@yahoo.com. There. Yahoo is entitled to try and make a buck off of Flickr users. That's why they bought it out and support it. They're not giving away 1TB of storage for giggles and rainbows.

Chasethebase Reporter Posted April 30, 2014 Reporter Share Posted April 30, 2014 I did that originally, created a random email for use with Flickr only. Don't use it for anything else and never check it so the spam isn't even an issue. If you really want to go somewhere else that isn't Flickr, looking at the options 500px is probably your best bet.

Nashy Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Funny people think their Google account is more secure than Yahoo's? I had Flickr back when it was Yahoo and never linked it to Google Yahoo has had what some describe as the biggest data breach in the history of the Internet in their trophy cabinet. Google has had what? One Gmail breach, and few small ones here or there? I think people beleive Google is not secure, purely because of the massive amount of scaremongering by people who seem hell bent on thinking that they can remain anonymous on the Internet.

HawkMan Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Where and when? everywhere all the time. Subscription cancelled Why would you cancel a sub to the best online photo storage and display service because you have to make an account with them _ you already effectively have an account with them, you just can\t log into that account with FB or Google anymore, which never made sense in the first place. It doesn't change anything about the service. it just makes you aware of the fact you do actually have a flickr/yahoo account.
