Photo-sharing website Flickr has finally dumped Yahoo`s old login system after over 10 years, a move which was most requested by its users.

"It`s been difficult for Flickr`s new owner, SmugMug, to step away from Yahoo. In an effort to improve performance and reliability, SmugMug also has been moving data from Yahoo`s data centers to Amazon Web Services computing foundation," CNET reported on Monday. 

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. 

However, it has lost much of is influence, mostly after being hit by a massive data breach that affected all its three billion accounts.

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.

Photo site SmugMug that targets professional photographers as a place to sell photos and run their websites, purchased Flickr in April 2018 and announced the new policies on November 1, 2018.
