How to Log-in to Flickr in #Mavericks with a Google account

Tweet

I had some difficulties setting this up as the shortcut to set-up Flickr in MacOs Mavericks does´t work with google accounts. Putting your gmail address and password (or application specific password if you have 2-step verification does´t work).

However I have found a work-around:

1) Login to the flickr webpage

2) Hover over your logo on the top right hand corner then click on ¨settings¨

3) Click on Edit your yahoo! preferences

4) On the Yahoo! webpage that appears, login with your google credentials

5) Click on the top right corn Mail symbol

6) Set-up a yahoo email address and password.

7) In MacOs Mavericks go to Settings -> Internet accounts

8) Press the + sign

9) Scroll down on the right panel to Flickr:

10) Add the login details of the yahoo email address and password you created with 6
