Leonard, MI | Main Account Password to log in to Yahoo All I want to do is to change the password that I log into Yahoo with (it's my main account). This should be simple, but it isn't.
I may have the order a little wrong, but my Yahoo account started with SBC, then Ameritech, and now AT&T, and I think that somehow this has muddied things up. Because this should be simple, but it isn't. I've google'd it, and I keep getting two answers. One shows me to change it on my account page in Yahoo which looks NOTHING like pictures they have included with their answers, so that doesn't work. The other shows me to change the password I use to log in to AT&T, but that's different than my password to log in to Yahoo.
If anyone can shed some light on the "how to" and "where to", I'd sure appreciate it. |

| you have to log into myATT and click on my profile then change email password or somthing to that effect, AT&T is trying to have more controll over its email accounts as a added security effort. |

Leonard, MI | Thanks for the response, but that was the 2nd of the two things that show up when I google'd it. I checked and they don't match. I changed it just for the heck of it, but it made no difference and doesn't get me any further toward managing email accounts. |

1 edit | When I go to AT&T Account and log in, the go to Profile, it doesn't show anything for managing email accounts. The only thing I have there is for changing the password for the AT&T Account login.
Hope I'm making sense?
Here's what the help page at AT&T says...
You must be logged into myAT&T to create and manage U-verse sub accounts. Don't have a myAT&T account? Register now.
Log in to your myAT&T account.
Place your mouse over Profile and select Manage Sub Accounts.
Choose from Add a sub account, Edit, Delete, or Suspend.
.........
The only problem is, there is no "Manage Sub Accounts" section there when I mouse over the "Profile" |

| Yes you are, i'm doing it myself so here it goes:
myATT, login with your AT&T email address and pasword, make shure Phone & Internet are selected in dropdown menu.
myATT Tab------>Profile----> Change Your Password
Scroll down to Set Personal Password Section
enter your current and new passwords.
Since you loged into with you myemail@att.net id it will change your email pw |

Leonard, MI | Can you believe I have NEVER logged in with my email address, but rather an alias!
Thanks for that. Now one last question. What do I put in the passcode section? |
|
| the top part is used if you have to call in and those are the questions they ask you to reset your pw |

After all I've read and tried, I thought you were the answer to my prayers. LOL Unfortunately an employee of mine is having the same issue, and her account is sending out tons of virus laden website links to her contacts. The messages are in the sent box so I know it's a password issue rather than a spammer spoofing an address.
So I had her follow the above steps to change her password and it's still not changing the password on the account in question, which is off of the sbcglobal.net domain. We don't see that email address listed anywhere in the profile we see when logging in with her att.net account which is associated with her DSL.
Now... She has had the sbcglobal.net email address for years prior to having the DSL account with the att.net email address/login. However...
When we log in through sbcglobal/yahoo, and go to change the acocunt there, it takes her to a blue sbcglobal/att login screen....and damnit, as I type this, I just figured it out...
I'll go ahead and leave the post in the off chance someone else has this issue. LOL
She had DSL at another residence prior to the one associated with the att.net address. Sbcglobal is their old system, so that's the email/login she needs to use, the one she set up at her old house...It's taking her to the blue SBCGLOBAL screen, not the new ATT.NET system. LOL |
