When I try to access Yahoo Mail like usual, it keeps asking me to verify my password. At one point I did, and the next screen had my name at the top (which means I'm logged in) but it still asked me to verify my password.

Anyone else having this prob today?

(I know I should use a different email but I still use Yahoo Mail also.)

I requested a new password and got one, but I still had the same prob.

Ten minutes later (about 1:05 PM PST) I tried again and it's okay. I don't know if the password change has to do with it. The confusing thing was that it said "Hi" and then my name, yet it was still asking me "Please verify your password" over and over.

It wasn't today but about 2 weeks ago, they wanted the people who had passwords that could be risky and easy to guess, to change them to safer passwords. As an example, if you had a password like hello123, they would have asked you to change it to a longer password that had more letters/numbers combination.

They had your name at the top probably because they have your IP address associated with your name, you just could not login into their email server.

A lot of people are having this prob. Search for Yahoomail in Twitter or see the thread below:

Yahoo has been glitching off and on for the past couple weeks. When I try to access my business email account it'll sometimes stall, or give me an error message, or open my personal email account instead.
