  1. Your Key sign in feature sucks

    I was asked to transfer to a key thing, which I did. Now I can't even access my mails from my desktop and other gadgets. It used to be synchronized. Everything was going fine.

    I tried following the instructions you gave. Ok, so maybe, I am too dumb and could not follow. But tell me, is it just me? I am seeing many others expressing the same discontent.

  6. I DO NOT have a mobile device of ANY kind. My other email I haven't accessed in years. If I change internet provider I lose THAT account.

    I DO NOT have a mobile device of ANY kind. My other email I haven't accessed in years. If I change internet provider I lose THAT account.
    If my Yahoo account is ever hacked in the future...Wouldn't all this info you're collecting compromise those too?
    PLEASE just give me an 'opt out' choice in any changes to my account!
    AND if ALL this is about "SECURITY"?...Why have a " Stay Logged In" feature? At least have THAT option unchecked instead of checked automatically!
    My Yahoo 'experience' is getting to be like a NIGHTMARE written by a deranged Dr. Suess.

    I have a premium account with Yahoo. I travel to Thailand 3 times per year. On every trip I am required to confirm by getting an email at AOL. Now AOL is doing the same thing. I spend over 13 weeks per year in Thailand and cannot login.

  14. IF you want us to change our password on our accounts, it would help alot IF you would accept the new password that we enter!

    IF you want us to change our password on our accounts, it would help alot IF you would accept the new password that we enter! People with head injuries & memory issues have a hard time learning new things & have a limited number of things that we are able to be sure to remember to use as passwords!
    Incidentally...since you are pulling this nonsense on both of my Yahoo accounts, you can forget about replying to my yahoo e-mail since it looks like you will not allow me access to either one of them! Much better that you respond…

  17. Password

    I should not have to change my password. This is something that should be up to me if I want to keep the one I have. This is just really a way to try to get my phone number by saying if I forget.

    For the past week I have had trouble getting access to my e-mail. I am tired of constantly having to change my password and getting secret codes sent to another device every time I want to read an e-mail. Please give me a human being to call so that I can resolve whatever at Yahoo is blocking my access. Have you changed your system to something that has flaws?
