Verification Code Loop
Have two yahoo email accounts, they both have each other as recovery emails. Today I tried to login to one of the accounts and got a message from yahoo that it sent a verification code to my recovery email to verify it is me. I went to me recovery email and got the same message from yahoo that it sent the verification code to my recovery email to verify it is me. So now I can't access either one of my accounts because yahoo is waiting for verification codes.

So in order to get help we have to pay?!!!!! Is that why you are doing this on purpose -- incessant verification codes when people are not able to get into their own accounts? Sounds like you are scamming people. This is not protection this is extortion on your part. A hacker could easily get into account regardless of the 2 factor. I do not have 2 factor and yet I have to do 2 factor? Your HELP menu is NOT helpful at all. You are holding my email account *******. STOP IT>

When I try getting into my email account and verify my phone number it doesn't send me a verification code through text message.
