My Yahoo.com email account recently began reading "We have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result we've temporarily locked it." I can successfully enter the correct password and 2-factor authentication at login.yahoo.com, but then when I click the final "unlock and change password" button it ejects me to a www22.verizon.com address. The Verizon address doesn't allow me to change my Yahoo email password and my Yahoo email remains locked. I spoke by phone to a pleasant Verizon agent in Pennsylvania. She said there had been a memo about the problem and she would work on a solution. That was two days ago. This Yahoo email account has been my primary contact for 18 years and I desperately need to regain access to it. Please rectify this problem. The locked out Yahoo username is "retroid1"
