Yahoo's free email service is different from Gmail and Outlook in that users have to give a phone number in order to sign up. But you can get around this rule and sign up for Yahoo email without a phone number.

Yahoo Mail Login www.yahoo.com

If you want to know how to sign in to Yahoo Mail, all you have to do is follow these yahoo mail login steps:

Enter the Yahoo Mail login page at login.yahoo.com.

Write your email address below where it says "Log in." Remember that it has to be in the format mail address@yahoo.es (or yahoo.com). Then click on "Following."

After entering your password, click the "Login" button to finish.

That simple. Now you can look at your inbox to check your emails, and the way we told you to do it also works if you want to get in from your phone's browser.

If you'd rather use your phone to sign in, you can also download the official Yahoo Mail app from the Google Play store (for Android phones) or the App Store.

Yahoo Mail Login Problems

Have trouble getting into your Yahoo Mail account? Here are some of the most common and how to fix them.

I get email from a different account.

On Yahoo Mail's sign-in page, it can sometimes happen that A different email account than yours shows up.

This means that someone else logged in from your computer with a different account. Don't worry, though; if that doesn't make sense, it's probably just a service error. In any case, you'll have to leave their home page and enter your own email and password.

To do this, click the link that says "Isn't that you?" next to the wrong email address. This way, you'll leave that profile (and you won't be able to read their emails if you don't know the password), and you'll be able to log into your account to start the session. So, the other email's session will end and you'll start your own.

Yahoo wants me to prove I'm not a robot.

It's easy: all Internet services have security measures to stop a botnet attack from taking down their servers, and the famous captchas are meant to stop a robot from pretending to be a person in front of a computer system.

In Yahoo Mail, one of the most common ways to make sure you're not a robot is to click the box to the left of "I'm not a robot." After that, you can start your session.

I forgot my login info

Don't worry if you can't remember the password for your Yahoo mail account. It's not too late. You can try to get it back this way:

Click "I forgot my password" where it says "Enter your account password."

If you set up a recovery email, Yahoo will let you send an account key to that email address so you can get your password back. If this is not the case, or if you have also lost access to the recovery account, click "I do not have access to this email address."

From here, you should follow the on-screen instructions.

All of this would give you a quick and easy way to learn how Yahoo Mail works. In less than 1,000 words and with everything you need to know to get through your first day with the competition's email.
