Hi
I'm having a really annoying problem with my yahoo.. I can log in on my phone but on my laptop it's not letting me.

It is telling me it will send a code to a phone number to verify that it's really me but the problem is I changed Phone Number and now it's not letting me sign in on my laptop..

What can I do?

Hello

That's perfectly normal. Your phone and laptop do not use the same ip, hence Yahoo really wants to make sure you are the owner. (Aren't they nice to take care of you that way?)

The solution to your issue is provided in this CCM « How-to » article :

Right on, excellent explanation of security, and the use of of such to protect ones account. Users want it really easy to get into until they get hijacked!
