Use OAuth or a secure mail key for email apps

Access AT&T email with an app that uses OAuth
If you’re like most people, you have email apps that let you read and manage email on your computer and mobile devices. We suggest you only use email apps with OAuth (Open Authentication). OAuth encrypts your username and password to protect you from hackers and fraudsters.

Device & operating system (OS)	Apps and programs that use OAuth
iPhones® & iPads® running iOS 9.0 and above	Apple Mail Outlook® Mobile Yahoo!® Mail app
Android devices running Lollipop/5.0 or above	GmailTM Outlook® Mobile  Yahoo!® Mail app
Mac computer running OS 10.11/El Capitan or above	Apple Mail
PC running Windows 10	Windows® Mail
Email app not listed? Here’s a quick way to find out if your email app uses OAuth. Start setting up a new email account in your app. Your app may offer you a list of email providers that includes Yahoo. If it does, your email app is OAuth compatible. Be sure to select Yahoo as your provider. You’re all set!

Non-OAuth compatible email apps

• Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019
• Mozilla^® Thunderbird^®
• Windows Mail on personal computers running Windows 8 or older
• Apple Mail/Mac Mail on macOS 10.10/Yosemite or older

Get email with an app and a secure mail key
If you prefer to use an email app that isn’t compatible with OAuth, you’ll have to create a special code called a secure mail key. You’ll use this secure mail key instead of your AT&T password when you set up an email app.
