Help please, Yahoo email problems.

[Tilly Mint]

I'm confused!.. if you haven't used the addy and it won't let you, can you just not use it but revert back to your regular account?

No, Julie. I have tried that but it just brings the "sign in" up again.........am so fed up with it all now

Thanks Julie

great isn't it Julie , I knew Firefox did but not that.

yes it's brill but you can also turn it off. I now use lastpass so I don't have to remember all of my passwords lastpass does that for me, it can even generate long complex secure passwords for you and then saves them with the site name/login details. You just go to your site normally and lastpass autofills and then you log in as normal. [and you can also have it on your smartphone too]

Thanks, Val. I have pm-ed you.

The email addy Val is talking about had never been used, I have only ever used the one Ive always used regularly. I have tried to stop the account on the addy I don't use but it wont let me.....

Think I may have solved it ,looks like the code is going to a different email address than the one registered for Yahoo.

amazing stuff I have found, did you know google has your passwords, mine has 112 stored.

I knew that, that's how I got back into Lastpass [as I forgot the only password I need to remember as lastpass saves the rest!]

I found mine and that bit for verification is turned off, maybe you could turn yours off

what about this


How do I recover my unrecognized Yahoo account?

How do I recover my verification code?
If you lost your backup codes, you can revoke them and get new ones.

1. Go to the 2-Step Verification section of your Google Account.
2. Select Show codes.
3. Select Get new codes.

when you say that it wont let you make a new account ? what exactly happens, maybe you need to clear the cache? have pmd you

Yes, Julie, the computer saves my passwords, they automatically come on. I tried taking them out and typing them in my self to no avail. I read somewhere that yahoo can bar the mail if someone has tried to hack my account for 90 days.

Thanks Julie

just a thought Jacky.. does your computer 'save' the passwords for you or do you manually type them in every time?

you've not got 'caps lock' on have you? it seems very odd that you could get in and now you can't.

I've tried most of that then I tried the other links......still no joy.

Thanks, Val.....your help is appreciated
