Why Is It So Hard To Do?

[Palustris]

Daughter bought us an Amazon Fire thingy. Spent hours trying to connect to our Yahoo account. Neither of us can type the Upper case Keyword in fast enough in the time allowed. Bloopy frustrating to say the least. Is there any other way of doing it?

[Baldric]

Get your daughter to do it.

Type it out in a document, copy it and paste it in to the password box

[bednobs]

i don't get why you connect a firestick to a yahoo account? Do you mean your router?

[barry1010]

It's a Fire tablet, not a Firestick

[bednobs]

gotcha, sorry i misunderstood. Does it work in all other respects?

Sorry for the digression - How do you embed a YouTube video into one of my posts, from my Android tablet?
(I can share the link of course.)

How can I display a YouTube Video on The AnswerBank?

To display a YouTube video on The AnswerBank, all you have to do is provide us with a description of the clip (i.e. the title), and the applicable URL. Copy and paste these details into the boxes provided, to ensure the video link is correct click validate button, then submit your question/answer – your clip will appear on the site with your question/answer.

those boxes dont exist any more do they? if you post the link it just embeds i think

[bednobs]

yep ^^^^^

Daughter lives rather a long way away from here and in a bad Covid area so not allowed to travel up.
By the time we have typed it out in a document and copied it, the time on the Fire tablet has long run out and then it sends us a different set of letters to type in.
Round and round the houses we go.

is it a captcha?
m just not able to visualise what you are trying to do

If you double click on the shift key it'll give you all caps making it quicker and easier.

[Peter Pedant]

we got a younger neighbour to do it
who did it in about 3 mins

I don't recall being timed-out when putting details into my Fire and I have lots of accounts likned into it. Can't you put caps lock on?

[Palustris]

Thanks folks, we managed it. Still wish these things were easier. We have had to change the password for Yahoo and do other things to get it back on the main computer.
Round and round the houses we go.

Glad it is sorted, Pal :) Don't forget your new password. will you
