Free Yahoo Password Reset
Patricia
I am receiving my Yahoo mail on all my Apple devices - phone, watch, MacBook Pro - but not on my iMac. All the mail settings are correct. I deleted the account, shut down and restarted the computer, and tried to re-add it. Using the Yahoo add button I put in my address and password and it looks like it is going to connect then I get an error message "Failed to authenticate with Yahoo!, please try again later". I do receive an email on my other devices from Yahoo that says New sign on Mac OS X. But the account does not load into the mail app on my iMac. I also tried to add the account using the "other" option - got the same error message.
Solved. In Mac Mail - Go to Add Account and Select "Other". When prompted for email / password - enter your yahoo email address. For password - go to Yahoo Security Page ( ) and Generate App Key. (Generate and manage app passwords) Use this 16 character code as password.
I'm having the same issue. Our old email provider switched us to Yahoo Mail. I've tried everything (while on hold with Yahoo for over 2 hours) including all of the above. When I add a new Yahoo email account, I can not get the account online. When I use "other" email account and the Yahoo password, I get "unable to verify your account".
Thank you randomuser and Jbokie. I'm on Monterey and this is what I did: I added a new email account and selected "other", typed in the yahoo email account name and the password that was generated from the Yahoo Security page. I typed in the password (you can copy/paste it too) but make sure there are NO spaces in the password. It will think about for a bit and then I got an error message "unable to verify account". At that point I added the username (same email account name), changed the email type to POP and changed the incoming server to pop.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing server to smtp.mail.yahoo.com. It took me a while to figure all of this out, but I was on hold with Yahoo tech support for 3 hours, so I had time. I hope this helps some else!
This worked for me, with a modified solution that also worked - I prefer IMAP to POP so that read/deleted/etc syncs across my devices, so I changed the email type to IMAP and used the following server settings:
My email account was recently ported from Cox to Yahoo. I created a Yahoo account using my cox.net address and password. This appeared to be accepted for the account creation in my MacBook Apple Mail. However, the account would not come Online. After numerous attempts trying different suggestions, I successfully created an "Other" mail account in Apple Mail on my MacBook. Initially, I entered my email address from cox.net and my password that works to sign in to Yahoo mail on the website. Of note, I have had no problems getting my emails on my iPhone mail and the Yahoo website, only on my MacBook. Anyway, this first attempt at creating the "Other" account failed but now I could edit the incoming and outgoing addresses. I entered the IMAP address of IMAP.mail.yahoo.com and the SMTP.mail.yahoo.com address. Along with this, I generated an App password in the Security section of the web Yahoo Mail and used this password in my new attempt to create the "Other" account. After a short delay, this was accepted and my mail started downloading from Yahoo to my Apple Mail.
I attempted to do this but was given the message that "this feature is not available at this time". After some searching, I read that Yahoo disabled this feature and is trying to get people to use their app. Is there another work around? Still cannot access yahoo mail via my macbook mail feature.
Dropbox has changed my password for "security purposes" and now I can't login. I was told to request a password reset - so I did - entered my email, saw it popup and say "an email has been sent" - and never received the email. What follows is a message I sent via the Dropbox.zendesk.com support - which I'm able to login to. The problem is, other than the obvious, I keep getting the same response - which I posted below my support request here. Can anyone please help???
I do have access to my email - that's not the problem. I've requested the password reset and I'm not receiving the email with the link in it. I'm receiving the emails from you without any problems. I have added the "no-r...@dropbox.com" to my contacts.
Dropbox reset my password. Now I can't access all the photos of my children that are stored there. I'm trying to do a reset and for some reason I'm not getting the email with the reset link from Dropbox.
Attached please see jpg files verifying the request for the password reset, veryfying I'm receiving OTHER emails, into my email account associated with my Dropbox account - from you, and verifying that I have the "no-reply" email address in my contacts.
Again, I am simply not receiving a reset email from Dropbox. Dropbox changed my password and now I can't access my baby's pictures. What we need to do to fix this? Can we escalate this? It seems evident there is a problem somewhere between my requesting a password reset and Dropbox's outgoing email - what do we do now?
If you don't receive an email after a reasonable amount of time, please check your spam folder to ensure that no-r...@dropbox.com is not blocked. You can also add no-r...@dropbox.com to your address book and request another password reset email.
The fact that you didn't receive the password reset email from Dropbox does not mean that they didn't send it to you (they did indeed send it to you, almost instantly). The blame for not receiving the password reset email falls on the shoulders of the several possibilities including your email account or the email program that you use (eg: Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird).
One possibility that can prevent the password reset email from getting through to you is if you're trying to perform this task while at your place of employment. Some businesses may block certain emails because it's not work-related or in an effort to prevent possible malware from infecting their network via an employee's personal email account.
Hi all...so, I just got the same, canned, response - AGAIN! After the long explanation that I'm simply not receiving the password reset email - after sending screenshots veryfying that email is working, that I have the no-reply email address in my contacts...is this a joke? Does anyone know how to get in touch with Dropbox support on the phone?

I think I can adivse checking with the affected Yahoo user if any filters are applied on the Yahoo email account or if by mistake the sender (auth0) has been blocked (I believe more on that ould be found on the yahoo community / support).
In case this Yahoo email account is under some firewall / middleware, please make sure the inbound emails from auth0 are allowed - to see the IP addresses of Auth0 to allow on the email provider side, please take a look here: Auth0 IP Addresses for Allow Lists
I am also experiencing this. An external customer never received their verification email or password reset emails to their Yahoo email. I have been able to replicate this with my own email as well. No emails received from Auth0.
Another thing you can verify is if the Username-Password connection you are referring to has the sign-up option disabled (please see the screen below). If so, please ensure the user with a Yahoo email is added to a connection.
Hope someone can help! I am trying to move from my old Samsung Galaxy A5 to A51 but I can't remember my yahoo password to put my emails on my new phone. I can't re-set my password online as the recovery option is to an old phone number I had previously and I stupidly never updated it or added a 2nd recovery option.
From memory, I managed to change my password on the email app of previous phone to A5 when I moved to my A5 (I need to remember this password it seems as keep having same problem!) but I can't seem to find in security settings/manage accounts how to change my password on A5 at all?
My email account got locked while traveling abroad on Jan 1, 2018. I contacted both Yahoo and Verizon customer support but have not been able to resolve this issue. I believe that my yahoo email account is served by Verizon as attempts to unlock the account from Yahoo site always takes me to Verizon login page. Unfortunately, the Verizon site has no means to proceed with account unlock after yahoo texted security key to reset the email account.
I found several forum users had similar Verizon/yahoo email issue since 12/17/17. My first contat with Verizon Customer Service on Jan 2nd had confirmed my yahoo email was served by Verizon via remote desktop to my PC but he was not able to fix it and asked me to contact Yahoo. Unfortunately Yahoo Customer Service repeatedly instructed me to contact Verizon for my email issue. Its web page to reset password or unlock account continue to display both Verizon and Yahoo logo.
