I can't sign into my Yahoo email account! Why? ?

I have had my Yahoo email account for many years, and now suddenly I can't sign into it. I am using the correct user-name and I.D. but still no luck. I can't even get any help from phoning Yahoo or any replies from emails that I send to them as they come back to me via the Mailer Daemon! I have even had an on screen message telling me that there is no such user-name or email address! Can anybody help? Surely I am not the first person that has experienced this. Look forward to a quick response and getting this sorted out.

Hi.

same thing has happened to me. it says the username/password is wrong every time, right?

and this is the SECOND time it has happened. the first time, they had completely deactivated my yahoo account. You can tell if this is the case by googling your old Y!A name and seeing if your profile comes up or if it says 'oops' message.

But THIS time, my old profile DOES come up. It hasn't been deactivated/suspended. Because we can't even access mail! WHAT HAS HAPPENED

Try asking on the suggestions board, everyone. Click on 'tell us what you think' at the bottom of this page. And then 'make a suggestion' and ask as a 'question' what's happened. Sometimes the yahoo team replies, or a user might be able to help.

I've been using the same password for years and for the last two years now I can't get into my account. I pressed the help button so I can retreive my password , but it sends it to my old phone so I still can't access my account. There has to be a way to get my old account back all my mail and kids info and job offers use this email address please help.

Had to change my password and made a new sign in seal. This was after clicking forgot my password. Once i put in correct ID my name was verified as were a couple of other questions. Am now able to sign in after a few frustrating hours.
