Password recovery for Yahoo issue

Hello,

I have had My same phone for 4 years so anytime I logged into my yahoo on a computer or other device

it will as me on my phone if that is me logging in and I click on the green check. Well My phone completely went black out of nowhere ! I got a new phone with the same number but of coarse I have to verify it is me cause its a new phone so because my other phone is black screen I can't check yes!

My Question is , is there any way to get around this ? my whole life is in there! FML I knew I should have not put that on my phone! But i had that email since 2004 and I started to get hacked from the mid east!


TYIA! I hope to find a solution.

also is it worth to pay the $5 to contact yahoo!? you think they can work their magic?
