For the past couple of days I have been receiving emails from Yahoo! claiming they have stopped unauthorised access to my account.

Someone attempted to sign in to your Yahoo! account from an app that doesn't meet Yahoo's security standards. We blocked this sign-in attempt, which was made on:

 

Tue, 7 Jun 2016 21:39 BST from United Kingdom.

My issue is that Yahoo! do not provide any information beyond that. The access block is confusing as I am using my devices at the time of the alleged block and none of them have complained about being not able to connect.

My devices are:

  • Windows 10 PC using Firefox
  • Nexus 7 using the Yahoo! Mail app
  • Moto G using the Yahoo! Mail app

Is there any way to find out the IP address and/or user-agent string of the blocked access?
