Question

"Q Account Settings"

by zlzpqx Jun 10, 2018 9:24AM PDT

I keep getting quite often the message "Your Q account settings are out of date."

It seems that that has to do with a Yahoo account which I have. My Yahoo account has worked fine all along.

Extensive investigation through Google search did not provide me any clues as to how I might check my "Q settings" anyway just to see what "updating" might be needed there.

I shall appreciate any suggestion as to how I might "check" my "Q settings."

Clarification Request

Is this that service?

I would be guessing. Yahoo has indeed changed with it's move to Oauth and changes by its new owner.
You can try looking at Yahoo.com and your email via the web page to see if it complains as well then fix that.

As to Q, it's they app/system so while I may try removing and adding the Yahoo.com account in Q's world, if that doesn't fix it, they should be inundated with support calls like yours and have a ready answer.
