When is the last time you successfully accessed your account?

Thank you for your quick reply.
Last Thursday November 16, 2017. Is the last time I access my account.

I accidentally uninstalled my yahoo apps. And I don't have access to my phone and to my recovery email, but I know my password.

Try accessing from a computer with your email address and password.

I did, but still asking for my phone number and recovery email. Maybe because of new yahoo that asking for account key.

You are correct you need the account key.

Sandy,

Did you register a recovery email address or phone number to which you have access and to which you can receive the account key? Your answer was no.

Incidentally, Yahoo used to ask for secret questions but they have done away with them. They don't even ask for them when creating a new account.

Since you deleted your app, it's as if you were trying to login from a different device. Yahoo considered that it was a suspicious activity. It would be very easy to recover your account if you had the recovery phone or recovery email.
