Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Can you please tell me your exact error message on the Yahoo page right now?
I forgot my new password and now I tried too many times- I cannot log into yahoo
I went to the in box to sign in and is says"to use this account you need to verify your identity
Okay, and are there any prompts for you to follow in the inbox as well?
I screwed up my password and I belied I tried too many times.. so I suppose that I need to wait . HOW LONG???
so I need to wait correct? I definitely forgot my password - so can I resent it then??
In some cases it may last up to 1 day, however they are pretty rare.
Yes, currently you would need to wait, and then once the account is unlocked, you will be able to reset the password.
So should I try in the morning and see if it works - I am asking if I will need to do an new passowrd.
thank you
Yes, please wait out exactly 12 hours and then try to sign in again, I would recommend to reset your password too!
thank you
