how get account for mate?

You can create a new account by first signing out and then at sign in click on the link to create a new one or go here: https://edit.yahoo.com/registration

If you have multiple accounts you can switch between them on the avatar/name menu in the upper right. If account is not listed then click "add account".

My husband typed this question into Yahoo Answers, accidentally I think. His problem was that when he tried to sign up for it on my laptop it wanted to link his account with mine. Why not gmail? Judgment call. He decided on Yahoo.

Thanks for the tip about logging off. We'll give it a try.
