I am having to change my password every other day because yahoo is saying there is suspicious activity.?

Question

Now, Yahoo is saying I can't send emails which is very inconvenient.  I am very close to just switching providers.  Also, is there a number to call to speak to a yahoo person to help me?  VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!

Why Yahoo! may prompt you to change your password:
http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN2053&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1367966950309&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML

Sometimes when you sign in from different location it can prompt a security warning.  This is especially true when you use a mobile phone and you may sign into your account from a different city or different part of town.


If you suspect someone else may be using your account without your consent, you can review your recent log in activity:

1.  Go to your Yahoo Account Information page http://account.yahoo.com
-Sign In

2.  Under Sign In and Security
-Select View Your Recent Sign In Activity

i strongly encourage you to update your security information.  Be sure you have a valid NON-Yahoo alternate email address, mobile phone number and you know the answers to your Secret Questions.  Please write all this information down and keep it somewhere safe and easily to find should you ever need it to regain access to your account.

Click Done.


Not sending mail usually is due to a problem with your web browser.  Try using another browser or read this Yahoo help article to troubleshoot issues you may have with your browser:
