Yahoo mail Sign in not workingClosed

Question

Whenever I enter my email and password, I am unable to login because Yahoo thinks that I need to reset my password. I was unable to update my recovery email (which I no longer have access to) because it wouldn't even let me sign in to do that much. This security feature is so great that it even blocks out the rightful owner of the account! It's very frustrating being unable to sign in to the many things connected to my email that I thought I could trust.

Hi

I believe that the security feature in question is excellent.  Yahoo wants to make sure you are the rightful account owner.

You are the one who is at fault ! You omitted to update your account while you had access to it.

Now, when you created the account, did you register a secret question which you remember?

The email account I used as a backup was an email of my mother's. She stopped using the email without my information, and has since lost the password. Which is, of course, my fault for not asking her about it on a regular basis to ensure I wouldn't get locked out of an account I had a password to. There's a strong chance I answered some security questions when I made the account, but I've had it for long enough that I don't remember for 100% certainty.
