Can't sign in!! Help!! Keeps rejecting my password.!!

Yahoo has some known problems on password verifications. Many users that put the correct password, were not able to login and when they tried to reset it, yahoo did not accept it.

I am not sure if your case is the same, but if it is, hang on until yahoo fixes the issue.

If you are not in this case and just forgot your password, you can reset your password by going to mail.yahoo.com and clicking "I cannot access my account", then "forgot my password", then you give your yahoo ID and write the digits from the captcha.

I cannot open my yahoo email

When you try logging in and made error for a few times in yahoo mail, it will ask you to enter a captcha code. Maybe you didn't notice that captcha form. Sometimes, try using your whole email address ([email protected]) instead of just the username (xyz). If that doesn't work, make sure you are entering the correct password (Caps Lock makes for a big headache).
