Thanks for your message but I find it misleading.

I don't see how resetting my password would eliminate the need to receive and enter the 6 digit Authentication Security Code.

Nor Do I see accessing currently.com and attempting to access my E-Mail thru Yahoo would eliminate the need to enter the same 6 digit security code.

This same authentication code is also required to access my account on MyAT&T. 

Please address the Security Code issue described above directly rather than send a generic form letter.

If there is no work around without a modification to the AT&T security code process, please so state.
