It can be quite frustrating to face Yahoo login issue each time you try to access your account. Instead of recovering your Yahoo account, you can avoid the reason that usually makes you recover your account. Some of the top reasons that lead to Yahoo sign-in errors are mentioned below.

List of Common Mistakes That Result in Yahoo Sign-In Error

1.) Forgot Your Yahoo Password

While it is difficult to remember your password when you have so many other online accounts’ passwords to remember, however, this is one of the most common issues that prevents the user from access his account. To overcome this issue, you can activate Account Key feature for your account. This way you will not need to enter your password. To activate this feature, you will need to go to the Account security page of your Yahoo account.

2.) Incorrect Account Recovery Information

Sometime, when you try to log into your Yahoo account using a device, program or location that is different from your usual one, Yahoo may asked you enter an Account Key to verify yourself as the rightful owner of the account. In such situation if your account wont be having your updated account recovery option, you will not be allowed to access your account from the said device, program, or location. So, make sure to keep your account recovery option up-to-date, always.

When you or someone else performs too many unsuccessful attempts to log in to your account, Yahoo may temporarily block your account. In such situation, you can either try accessing your account after 12 hours or you can regain immediate access to your account using Sign-in Helper.

4.) Using Unsupported Web Browser

You may also face sign-in issue with your Yahoo account when you are trying to access your account using an unsupported web browser. Make sure to always use a supported web browser to access your Yahoo account to prevent login errors.

5.) Someone Else is Using your Account

If even after having the correct Yahoo ID and Password, you are unable to access your account, this could an indication that your account has been hacked by someone. While you will be able to easily recover your account using Yahoo Sign-In Helper, to prevent this from happening in the future, you can activate two-step verification feature in your account. Two-step verification features works as an added security layer that send a notification on your phone number each time you or someone else try to access your account via new device, program, or location. Alternatively, you can activate Account Key option in your Yahoo account. Enabling Account Key sends a permission notification to your phone which you need to tap to allow access to your account. Both features can be activate by going to the Account security section in your Yahoo account.

So, this is how you can easily fix the common mistakes that lead to the sign-in issues and errors in your Yahoo account.
