can't sign in to yahoo mail on pc, can on ipad!
« on: Monday 14 August 17 08:57 BST (UK) »
After an update 2 weeks ago I am unable to sign in to my yahoo mail. I am told my password is wrong. When I try the help option I just go round in circles.

Reading through other posts it looks like Yahoo may be working through accounts bit by bit.  It seems a bit hit and miss so you should just keep trying i think.   Good luck,  sorry i cannot be of more help.

Was presented with a new sign in page something to do with 'Oath', and I have access to my emails and spam again! :)

Good news, pity about the spam, seems as though its part of our electronic lives these days!
