I have some important emails that I need to get to for work!
Ugh!

I called Yahoo’s help line & they basically told me that w/out a recovery email or phone no.# they cannot help me.

Thank you to everyone who responded.
Your responses were very helpful!

They implemented all the "security" measures in aug of 2024, and basically locked out millions of people worldwide from their old accounts.

They then wanted Drivers License, SS #s, phone numbers, age, addresses, etc. to "secure your account".

It was all an overseas scam that Yahoo/Aol/Oath tried to do. Surprised you didn't get hit until this year.

Yahoo has had the recovery email and phone numbers for years. Do you mean last year the only option to access your account was via the recovery options?

I’m a little surprised OP never updated her information. I get asked every month or 2 to verify my recovery info with Yahoo.

They are going out of business due to their practices, and trying to milk existing accounts for data to sell.

I mean they have supposedly been going out of business when Marisa Mayer became CEO, and yet they are still here.
