I simply had to go to the URL in the text message and manually log on to confirm that this was a legitimate access attempt, and subsequently I accessed from many different places in the US without problems.

I'm thankful for these security measures, personally.
Yes I think that is what triggered my Yahoo email to be frozen, no way to correct it though from Ipod Touch, just wouldn't connect. When I tried from the computer I had to give info I no longer have (closed email, forgotten question/answer) so bye bye Yahoo email account.
