Help yahoo com

Hello, Fixya, Last night, I logged into FaceBook, using my Yahoo account. Tonight, when I tried to log in, I got a message that my password was invalid. FB said they'd send a new password to my Yahoo account. When I tried to log onto Yahoo, my password was invalid - the same password I used for FB. I went through all the security checks on Yahoo to get a new password and was then told I had to contact customer service directly. Has my account been messed with in the past 24 hours? If so, please advise. I haven't had an account hacked before. If not, can you tell me what to do to get a new password? Thank you, Sharon Gannaway [email protected]

I work on computers and have had many clients with yahoo email that has been hacked. Contact Yahoo customer service directly to restore access to your yahoo account (with a new password of course...)

SOURCE: Unable to log in to yahoo email

Under the login boxes, there is a link for "Forgot User ID or Password?". You can click on that link and follow the instructions to retrieve this information.

SOURCE: e-a-mail security problem?

I have experienced this same pop-up. I have been a Yahoo mail client for the past 14 years and I can tell you with a certain level of confidence that this is something you don't need to worry a about. It's a conflict between the yahoo mail server and the yahoo messenger server.

SOURCE: my yahoo account has been deactivated

Yahoo allows you to reset your username and password using an alternate email address.

Simply go to the yahoo! sign on page and click the link as shown here:

and follow their instructions to get your password emailed to you at an alternate address.

Hope this is helpful.

SOURCE: i cant acces my yahoo mail account and cant change password

to change it, you may have to ask a few questions on help desk to retrieve it.or you could cancel the account and set a new one up. you should be able to change your account pasword through customer service then create a new one using the old email address. use a good virus sweeper ie avast or spy hunter to run a check on your system DO NOT use the XP doctor that comes up when you use the internet that itself is a trogen. and i would not recomend any norton programms thy can upset your system big time.

it seems as if someone is hacking into your facebook account try removing the foreign yahoo account from your facebook account and enter your own email in its place then turn on login approvals and the code generator from the facebook app this way when that someone tries to login to your account they cant and only you will

Want to log in to my FaceBook account

Point your web browser at http://www.facebook.com

If another account comes up, log out of it by clicking the little gear icon in the upper-right then clicking "Log Out."

If you then still can't log in to your account, click the "Forgot your password?" link located just below the password box on the login page.

I cant log on. I am always logged on via my phone but tonight when i went to check my yahoo mail it said something about not the correct password. Then I went online and tried to log on and kept being told...

this usually happens if you are still logged in into your mobile phone without logging out, you access the same account using a computer this time.

the way to avoid this next time is to log out first when you're logging into your computer from the mobile phone and vice versa.

or much worse you have clicked another url pretending to be yahoo mail login and provided your password into it, yahoo will automatically deny access protecting your account.

before you login
http://mail.yahoo.com/
click either on I can't access my account or Help below the button "Sign In"

Whenever i login that time show me below error (81003002)

It means somebody is trying to access to your account & made few failed attempts. But no worries, it's a normal security precaution which will eventually locked the account to prevent the unauthorized user from getting in successfully. This lock down usually will last 24hours after the failed attempts made by the unauthorized user.
Go to this main Yahoo! logging site & insert the correct ID & password of your account. The first attempt may prove failure, second attempts will lead you to the "word verification system" which is to make sure that you are not "bots". Follow all those procedures provided by Yahoo!. 48hours after visiting that Yahoo! main logging site, your account should return as normal. Link : http://login.yahoo.com/config/login

**NOTE: Remember to clear out your ID every time signing out of any sites that preserve your personal informations such as Facebook, Yahoo! Messenger @ Mail & etc. to prevent them from being hack or so.
Or you can simply log in using other Yahoo! servers. =) Link : http://rimmelds.blogspot.com/2008/09/unlock-yahoo-when-your-account-has-been.html

I am logged in on my yahoo page but when I go to facebook my wifes facebook page comesup

Hi there!


Even if you are using your Yahoo email for your facebook account, you still need to log-in to Facebook using your username/email address and password. Once you've logged in using your own account details, switching to yahoo page and facebook will show your account.


Hope this helps.

I forget my password facebook pls help[

Hello and thank you for your question,



Since you cannot get into Facebook and you are having problems logging into your original Facebook mail you will have to verify your identity with Facebook to proceed.


Since this can take awhile it is easier to contact yahoo to retrieve your account info.

How to reactivate my yahoo id

The only thing you need to do is log into Yahoo and when you log in it will tell you that your account was deactivated and then you will follow a few steps to reactivate it. Sometimes accounts get deleted when you stop using them. But try it out, just log in with your old e-mail address and password and it should give you the option to reactivate.
