I’ve tried to check my account several times since 11 PM ET, and after entering my username and password, I get a screen that wants me to verify my password. Enter it again, and nothing. Same screen. None of my accounts work. Is anyone getting the same thing?
The “My Yahoo” home page for one of my accounts has been blank for two days. I’ve been accessing my calendar and mail through the regular Yahoo home page, they seem to be functioning normally.
I had a similar problem about two months ago. I had to get another account elsewhere and reconstruct my address list. I still can’t get in that account. My wife has had no problems with hers. I figure it’s because hers is a paid account and mine is a freebie
Yesterday was the first time in a week that I was able to check my mail. My SO couldn’t get into his either so I think it was something screwy with Yahoo, not just you.
That used to happen to me on my home computer. I could log in to “My Yahoo”, and then from there link over to Yahoo Mail. But I could not log in directly to Yahoo Mail - it would keep asking me for authentication information.
I was going into Yahoo mail from a Link in my Favorites. On a hunch, I got into Yahoo Mail from My Yahoo, then refreshed my Link in Favorites. Voila! Problem solved.
Mine is working fine. The only problem is that it won’t let me check my account from Firefox, instead I have to go through IE.
Yes, I freaking well am. And I’m getting bored with it. I haven’t been able to respond to any emails for three weeks, and until two days ago, I was getting a blank screen and had to go in through the calendar function on my toolbar. grrrrrrr I thought they were supposed to be making it better.
Well that’s weird! I can access it from work, but not from home. Or maybe it’s working now, I dunno. Thanks for your responses. Good to know it’s not just me. Maybe they’re upgrading something and it isn’t going very well…
Do you use a software firewall at home? I have to disable mine to check yahoo mail and hotmail. Gmail works just fine though.
I don’t have a software one, but there’s a hardware one in the router. It hasn’t been a problem to access Yahoo mail until just recently.
Similar story here a couple of weeks ago. I managed to sign in via Yahoo!games and haven’t had a problem since.
