• Sign in to Yahoo - sign in

• Try the international login page on Yahoo! All and world

• Try to log in from another computer

o If you cannot log in from any other computer, go here: Yahoo - How to recover a lost password / How to regain control of a hacked account | Email Questions

o If you can log in from the second computer, try the following steps on the first computer:

• Force a page refresh. While holding down the control key on your keyboard, press the F5 key.

• Update to the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox from Yahoo!

o The latest versions of Google Chrome or Apple Safari are also available

• Try switching between web browsers, for example, if you use Internet Explorer, try Chrome.

• Try switching between basic and full Yahoo Mail

• Update your Adobe Flash player.

• Update the remaining software on your computer with Secunia PSI

• Clear your web browser's cache

• Make sure cookies are enabled and delete your cookies.

• Internet Explorer users: Restore the default security levels of the web browser.

• Check your antivirus software and make sure it is up to date. If you don't have an antivirus program, I recommend installing Avast personal edition.

• Update and run your anti-spyware programs like Malwarebytes

• Do you have current versions of your firewall and security software, such as Norton Antivirus, installed?

• Instead of using your ISP's DNS servers, use OpenDNS servers.

• Sometimes Yahoo is the problem, try waiting an hour and try logging in to mail.yahoo.com again.

• You've probably already tried, but if not, try restarting your computer.

• You can purchase live support for your account by upgrading to Yahoo Mail without ads.

If you have a problem other than Yahoo Mail that is not fixed by Yahoo troubleshooting steps above.
