Flickr dumps old Yahoo login system after over 10 years

This is a welcome change for Flickr users who reportedly didn’t like the login system introduced in 2007, two years after Yahoo acquired the website.

Verizon-owned Yahoo was once an Internet giant that helped popularise services like web-based email.

Meanwhile, Flickr recently extended the February 5 deadline to March 12 for free accounts to download pictures before it officially starts deleting them if they exceed 1,000.

Last year, Flickr had announced a new pricing plan under which users had to pay $50 for a Pro membership, or stay limited to 1,000 photographs.
