Yahoo has been busy the past weeks updating a number of apps and services. The Yahoo! Mail app’s Material Design change we mentioned two weeks ago is now ready for download.

This full redesign is part of Yahoo Mail’s 18th anniversary. Yahoo promised that it’s going to be faster and more intuitive. Honestly, it took Yahoo some time to embrace Material Design but it’s good that the company has finally decided to make some changes. The new Yahoo Mail app now allows user to manage several accounts from AOL Mail, Hotmail, or Outlook.com. It will also now take advantage of the company’s latest password-free sign-in feature. The latter is called ‘Yahoo Account Key’ and it aims to bring better security and more convenience to every Yahoo user.

On the new Yahoo! Mail app, you’ll notice it’s faster. Actions are snappier, transitions are smoother, and navigations are more responsive than ever. App’s design looks cleaner and simpler. You integrate your mail with other social media profiles like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter so you can see recent photos or updates. Feel free to change your personal avatars so your contacts can easily recognize that it’s you.

The updated Yahoo Mail app features easily accessign and viewable Contact cards. When you tap on a name or email, information like name, company title, and email history will show up. You can get news in your Yahoo Mail directly and read more content by simply tapping the News icon. If you want to mark a message ‘read’ or ‘unread’, just swipe right. To delete message, swipe left. Or if you want to select more items to delete or move, long press to swith to multi-select mode.

The Yahoo Account Key is a new way to sign in to your account. It’s password-free now so you don’t need to memorize long passwords. Of course, you still need to prepare just in case but signing-in is faster, easier, and more convenient on a mobile device.

According to Yahoo, this Account Key features simplifies the process with a more secure and easy-to-use interface. All you need is a tap of a button to get in. Activate your Account Key once for the convenience of being password-free.
