My email is bellsouth.net but last week Yahoo

shut out all AT&T emails on their app. Now I cannot locate it anywhere and even if I did, I’ve had it forever and not sure I know the password since I’ve never had to use it.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to retrieve it? And btw, I only have iPhone, no computer.
Thanks in advance.

The web page login is here

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/

If you cannot login there you can try contacting AT&T and getting the password reset but they do not guarantee support.

and icloud has reasonable junk mail blocking.

Gmail might be even better.

just my 2 cents.

Yahoo appears to be a swirl.

Same situation … whatever you do DONT CALL HELP # they were useless and want to charge your for help ..
I used my browser to go to yahoo, put in my email addy and clicked forgot password, got instructions in email to set password, and it was all fixed … yahoo keeps ‘suggesting’ that I upgrade to their next level service, I just ignore it …
My email also is bellsouth.net, and they guarantee that address forever

Good luck

7. Are you using yahoo app ?

Or just your browser ?
My problem started with my app all of a sudden saying I had to login, when I clicked it it sent me to a login only page … I had forgotten my password too …
I updated the app, no difference … so going to the page and putting in my email addy and clicking ‘forgot password ‘ and it was remedied quickly


Good luck

I no longer have access through Yahoo, they said. I tried logging in which required a password and they said they sent me password instructions… sent them to my email… TO WHICH I DON’T HAVE ACCESS!!
First base!

It was a month + ago … I was using a browser, at yahoo and it might have just sent me to another page in the browser to complete pw change …
Let me think about it .. I couldn’t get to my email either so I got the info some other way …

Ok I just went to yahoo to replicate pw change, and it sent me to currently.com and there I put in my email addy and clicked forgot pw and it sent me to a page to reset password … I quit there bc I don’t want to change it 🤔

It definitely looks like they don't know what they are doing (presumably true!), but just persist, even if you have to keep entering your email address.
