You can register with the Yahoo email service in just a few steps. To log in to Yahoo, you should always do so via the official Yahoo website and never via dubious links in emails or other messages. The latter can be scams that hackers use to get their hands on your data.
Of course, you will also need your password to log in, which you should make as secure as possible when creating your account. Our recommendation: Vary between lowercase and uppercase letters and also use numbers and special characters. In the following paragraph, we will explain step by step how to log in to Yahoo using your email address and password.
Yahoo login not possible
If the Yahoo login doesn’t work for you, there could be several reasons for this. You can find out whether it’s due to server problems by taking a look at our Yahoo fault reporter. Such faults are usually resolved after a while.

You can do the same if you have forgotten your username. Yahoo also provides a button for this when logging in: “Forgot your username?”. In order for the provider to tell you this, you must enter either your email address or your phone number.
Check Yahoo website
You can find out whether you are really on the official Yahoo website by looking at the address bar of your browser. It should always start with “yahoo.com/”. Addresses that contain “yahoo” and separate other information with a dot are also usually official. Addresses separated by hyphens such as “login-yahoo.com” are not official. You should not log in using such addresses.

If you want an additional guarantee, call up the certificate on the Yahoo website. In browsers such as Google Chrome, click on the symbol in the URL line at the top left of the address bar, then on Certificate. If it contains “Issued to: *login.yahoo.com”, you have come to the right place.
