Yahoo mail login redirected to Verizon webmail

[larry722]

Hello.  I am locked out of my Yahoo Mail.

This is the message I am getting.

Your account safety is our top priority

We have detected some unusual activity on your account and as a result we've temporarily locked it for your protection. You may unlock your account immediately by changing your password.

But when I click on Unlock and Change PAssword, it brings me to the Verizon Fios login page.  please help!

thanks

Same is happening to me. I have been using Yahoo! mail since 1999 and I am now locked out of account, stuck in this endless loop. No matter what is tried, the "Unlock and Change Your Password" link takes me back to www.verizon.com.

I have been on the phone with Verizon service reps, to no avail. One gave me a Yahoo number to call that turned out to be a phone number for questionable purposes, another time I was provided a Yahoo number that just did not work.

The only thing I can do is to escalate this at Verizon as the Yahoo! programmers are sending me here.

This is very frustrating and I am very unhappy with the stunt being pulled by Yahoo! here.

This has happened to me too...I used to have a Verizon account with sub-accounts beneath it when we had High Speed Internet. I am locked out of one of the sub-accounts and cannot change anything on another sub-account...when I contact Verizon, they have no evidence of the sub-accounts.

Has this problem been solved? 

[Pedro11]

Was this ever solved? It has been 5 years since your message and now I have the same problem. Why is mail.yahoo.com being forwarded to verizon? 

[TJJ2]

This just happened to me last Sunday. Same message. I've had a Yahoo email for 20 years and use it as my primary. A few years back , got Verizon DSL and it came with an email I rarley use. I clicked on all the Yahoo links and it sends to the verizon home page. Spent 45 min on phone with verizon and they claimed zero responsability and stated they have never heard of such a problem. Like others I need to regain access to the Yahoo to retreive all important info. Fed up with both companies and feeling usless.

Has this issue been resolved for anyone? If so, how or who should I contact?

[AlisonSong]

I can send and receive emails with my email address ****@verizon.net.  However, I cannot log into verizon email on Yahoo to access my email on my computer or to change my password.  When I try to do so, I get re-directed to My Verizon web site.

Please note I have spent 3 hours today on a call with Verizon Support and no one has been able to assist.  Please help.

The same has happened to me. Had the yahoo email for 20 years!  I'm at a loss for words with frustration with verizon and yahoo. There is no one at yahoo to contact and verizon keeps sending me there.

For people with verizon.net email addresses that use Yahoo to access their email, try changing your password (it will be on a Verizon site) to one with ONLY letters and numbers - no special characters.  That was the resolution to my issue accessing my mail.  The passwords between Verizon and Yahoo are linked but there's some issue with special characters on the Yahoo side at the moment.

If someone with a yahoo.com email address is being directed to Verizon to change passwords, I have no idea what the fix is there.  For those using Yahoo to access their Verizon-based email, I think the above should help.
