By leveraging AWS’s Machine Learning-based account protection, we’re working to keep your Flickr account more secure than ever.
We’ve partnered with a team of experts at AWS to create this new, simpler login solution for Flickr. At that point, you’ll be able to use any email address you choose to log into Flickr and will no longer need a Yahoo account in order to do so. By early 2019, our new login will be live on Flickr. And since SmugMug bought Flickr from Yahoo, we’ve been working toward this goal. Here at Flickr, we’ve long wanted a simpler login solution that would allow each member to use the email address of their choice. We understand the challenges our members have faced trying to access their Flickr accounts, and we want to make sure that every Flickr member has easy access to their content. Even Flickr’s CEO, Don MacAskill, has been locked out of his Flickr account due to confusion over login credentials. Others have been confused about which address was associated with their account, and missed important notifications as a result. Some have been bothered by having to get a new email account just to access Flickr. We know many of our members have had challenges with the Yahoo login requirement.
This was perhaps an easy transition for people who were already members of both sites, but it presented a challenge to Flickr members who didn’t have or need a Yahoo account at the time. At some point along the way, Yahoo decided to integrate the two sites more significantly and require a Yahoo account for logging into Flickr. Flickr was part of the Yahoo family for many years.
