Please, try to follow this link and the instructions, that are listed here on the page.

Customer Replay

Ok
Whats the link

Customer Replay

It says uh oh
WE CAN'T SIGN U IN AT THIS TIME.
THATS EVERY TIME I TRY
CAN U ADD A RECOVERY EMAIL FROM YOUR END

To protect your account, it may be temporarily locked after too many unsuccessful attempts to sign in. It will unlock automatically after 12 hours, but you can always regain access immediately using the Sign-in Helper.
To my regret, we are not capable of doing this.

Customer Replay

ITS NOT LOCKED
SIGN IN HELPER NEED THE OLD PHONE NUMBER

But the issue, that you are telling me is saying that you have tried many times and you have to repeat your actions in 12 hours.

Customer Replay

I NO LONGER HAVE THAT DEVICE
I THINK ITS SAYING THAT BECAUSE I DIDN'T REFRESH

I recommend you make a recovery email address in order to recover your yahoo account. Can you do it?

Customer Replay

I WAS SCARED U AND I WAS GOING TO GET DISCONNECTED

For your convenience, here's the link - https://howly.com/chat to get back to me.

HOW DO I DO RECOVERY email

Just create a new email address, make sure, that you make it new, not repeating your major account's details.
Create a new account or use an existing email address from any email provider; you'll just need to provide a password, date of birth, and a mobile number. Go to the Signup page. Enter your info in the required fields. Click Continue and follow the onscreen prompts to verify your mobile phone number.

Customer Replay

BUT I WILL STILL NEED TO ACCESS THE ACCOUNT IM TRYING TO LOGIN....RIGHT?

Yes, correct.
You can use another service, like Gmail.

Customer Replay

Okay after i do that recovery email then what?
I have a gmail account
