Yahoo Mail is Stupid and I Need Help

[AWildLlama]

Long, long, long ago, I made a mistake and used Yahoo as my main form of email. Everything was fine until my phone bit the dust, and I had my mobile account ID linked to that phone. Whenever I try to log in now, it asks for my email, doesn't ask for my password, and instead says "You're not signed in on any Yahoo app. Use an alternate way to sign in.", and asks for the old phone number to send a recovery SMS to. When I say I can't access that phone, it sends me into a loop, taking my back to the beginning because apparently no other way of recovery exists. I really need this account, as it's tied to some really important stuff. Thanks in advance.

This has happened to me in the past. Recovering a Yahoo account is insanely difficult somtimes, I suggest you call Yahoo for help (I can tell you from experience that it'll be a long phone call), and they will most likely solve your problem.

 

This is the reason I abandonned Yahoo mail for good lol.

Yeah, I'd love to have just switched over to gmail because good god Yahoo is just too much work to be worth it. If you know the number could you provide it? All I'm coming up with is support you have to pay for :1 Thanks for your help so far though ^~^
