I've been trying to log in to my Yahoo account, but it seems to be blocked. What could be causing this?

There may be a few reasons why you're having trouble logging into your Yahoo account and it seems to be blocked. Your account is temporarily locked for up to a day as a security measure to guard against unauthorized access. The account lockout happens after several unsuccessful login attempts. It is possible that someone else has been trying to log in using your Yahoo ID and has triggered the account lockout if you have not experienced any problems with login or password.

Suspicious sending behaviors could be another reason for the block. This covers actions like blasting out a lot of emails in a short amount of time, sending out duplicate content in your emails regularly, or sending out a lot of emails at once.

You can use the Sign-in Helper to get back into your Yahoo account. By providing your recovery mobile number or another email address, this tool assists you in finding your Yahoo ID and getting access back. If you need to reset your password but know your Yahoo ID, make sure that, when you get back into your account, you create a strong password. This procedure guards against unauthorized access and helps to improve the security of your Yahoo account.
