Frustrating password authentication issue with no help from Yahoo Chat support
I have had yahoo mail connected to my iphone mail app for years with no issues whatsoever. I regularly check my yahoo email on my phone and through my Edge browser. A few weeks ago, I started getting failure notices in the phone mail app but was still able to access it through the Edge browser. To try to resolve it, I reset the password, confirmed that I could still log into the browser and then tried to reconnect to my phone. Kept getting the password failed message. So I downloaded the Yahoo Mail app to my phone, and with the same password was able to connect succesfully.
Today, I went into my Yahoo account and attempted to go into Account Settings. When clicking on the prompt settings, it asks me for my password. Now I get the password failed message there too. Your chat app suggested I go to a different browser and attempt to log in that way. So I went to chrome. But now I get the failed password there too.
Working with your chat app is so frustrating because it has no idea how to fix this and just sends me in circles and won't let me connect to a human. So hopefully this makes it to someone who can actually fix the issue. I am about ready to switch to Gmail if this doesn't get resolved soon and I have been a Yahoo mail user since the late 90s.
