I'm pretty sure I typed the correct password, but I can't seem to get in. I tried using the password recovery console, but my information doesn't match. Any suggestions? bang.gif

That happened to me like 6 months ago on one of my yahoo email accts. I am not sure what the situation was and since have found that nothing appeared to be array but the way I fixed it was to do the forgot password and temp was emailed to my secondary email then I changed it after that. I believe that was the process anyway.

No problems for me @ the moment...I've found Yahoo to be more problematic the last 6 months or so than the whole time I've had an account...which must be 5 years or so...

I'm not sure if I added a second email address to that account. It's a PITA since this is my mail email addy. sad.gif

If I remember correctly it is a requirement.

I just emailed a form to customer care. I'll see if something can be done. Doesn't look good as this is my eBay selling email account and all correspondence goes straight to here.

I just changed my eBay email addy along with the email addy @ Pay Pal. sad.gif

it has happened to me before. It seems to be a problem on yahoo's end.

Well, it's partly my fault. It's always a good idea to change your password every now and then, but I don't. bang.gif

no not your fault. I would have to say that would be the norm not to change it. Now I do worse..not only are my passwords common, easy to hack but also similar on everything except where they require 5,6,8, etc which I add something..and I use roboform so it would be easy to have variation without the need to remember many different ones

I was having problems with yahoo early this morning. Couldn't get to the homepage, news or finance sections, but could get to email.

A few days ago I couldn't get to to email, but it started working a few hours later.

Anyway, I have a client that was having trouble with yahoo email a couple of weeks ago. She tried resetting her password online and I don't know what she did but she got locked out of her account for a day. I gave her the number I found from Yahoo's profile on Yahoo Finance and she was directed to someone who changed her password. The password was emailed to a secondary email account she had. The number I gave her was 408-349-3300.
ebytes
Thanks for the number Alan! I'll call them some time tomorrow. Crazy thing is that I was checking my email accou @ work just before I left.

yahoo has been a pain for me lately, too. Need to get everything over to Gmail...

having trouble getting into my account now because of this:

The page isn't redirecting properly

I was having slight issues with yahoo. I set up gmail to retrieve my yahoo email. I did this all in gmail.
ebytes
Tried logging into Yahoo email this morning and still no luck. There goes all my contacts. sad.gif
wurlybird9
sorry Ebytes sad.gif

I know most webmail will do forwarding but I didn't know Gmail did retrieval as well. I think I will have to set that up. Gmail has always been more quick and reliable.

Did you call?
ebytes
Wasn't feeling well today and called in sick. I called some time in the evening and was instructed to contact customer care by calling 866-562-7219. I spoke to a CSR and was asked a series of questions ranging from DOB to secret pets name. Good thing all were answered correctly. She later asked for a secondary email address to be added to my Yahoo account. A temp password was sent to my secondary email account(hotmail) and I was finally able to log into my Yahoo email account! Thanks so much Alan and everyone else! smile.gif
Alan
Cool, glad you got it fixed.
I need to keep that toll free phone number handy.

Glad to hear it worked out for you, ebytes.

Sorry for the holdup. Looks like a temporary glitch in our network has part of Yahoo! mail down, so you're briefly without service. Rest assured the alarms are blaring in the basement and our team is working frantically to get you up and running ASAP. Again, the snag is on our end — so there's no need for you to do a thing.

Back to it,
Yahoo! Mail Team


The site's been wierder than usual lately...garbled emails, same text/pictures listed 3-4 times in an email...really wiiiiiiiiiide html images...

I've been seeing some strange behavior as well, although I mostly use the site in the mornings before I head out the door. Couldn't tell ya what happens during the day.
