Yahoo made me change the pass word to my email that I've had since 1998, lost the pass word and can't get it back. I do NOT want yahoo again.

Also need to know how to notify F.R. of the change.

Yahoo has a new email service and it and gmail and comcast.net often don’t work together.

Protonmail.com is the best I know of.

If you had your phone number on the account, they could send you a one-time password. If you had a separate email provider and had entered that, they can send the reset to that email address.

Also, a different computer or device might still be logged into your account. Be sure to check.

We had an Earthlink email loooong ago.

Yeah, but did you have a GEnie account? In the DOS/text only days that was $5/month dialup...

Agree with those recommending Proton

Using Protonmail.com for all mine now. Mostly because they don’t require phone # and other personal info verification.

Yahoo scans your emails and sells the information as part of their business model, just like Googel/gmail.

Precisely why I don’t even email people with gmail.

I have neither cell phone nor separate email account, no land line either for that matter.

I have gotten a proton email acct now. Thanks to everybody.

I have used fastball.com from Australia for at least 15 years. It’s not free, but they use encryption, have no ads, have a good spam filter, where you can see what they think is spam and save it if you want it.

They have a 30-day free trial.

I gave up land line phones around 1994, gave up cell phones about 2 years ago. Family emergencies can call my daughter’s cell, she lives with me.

I have used gmx.net (German) for 2 decades. They now have an English equivalent — gmx.com.
