UNLIMITED (@divinecontactm) reported@sidrachain Weldon for the great work you are doing. Those of us who registered with Yahoo mail are still finding it difficult to login to our kyc port. Please I suggest you re-introduce the login with password+google authentication for us, so we too can be part of the new system upgrade.

Ray Ellis (@RunOnTheMind) reported@MrNJ39 @yahoomail Agreed. This version is rubbish. The font is dreadful and is counter intuitive. The previous version was fine. Nothing wrong with it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It wasn’t. Please give us the old, good version back.

Samantha 😎 SamsTwitch.com (@Samstwitch_Sam) reported@YahooCare I sent you a private message with images about a technical problem with my Yahoo mail, but you have ignored me. Please read it and reply!

Offensive Lab (@OffensiveLab) reportedNew research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

Nadine Gonzales (@Naydeeners) reportedI use all of them expect for iCloud mail. But if I had to go narrowing it down to only one to choose from, I'd say I would either pick out Gmail or Yahoo mail

SN (@sach_n01) reported@Masterji_UPWale @sanjayuvacha I am using Yahoomail for 20 yrs and it's the worst with worst UI and funny thing is it's asking money to fix it's worst UI to make inbox look more organized than spam, ADs they send on regular basis

Yamnaya (@yamnaya9) reportedRight on man I will. To my shame I haven’t read books in like ten years since I became a digital research junkie and really need to. I love writing and had started a book ten years ago I had the first chapter and titles for every chapter with the concept totally outlined. Lost access to my yahoo mail due to changing numbers and using a fake name and it was lost. Within the next decade I will return to a new one I have tons of ideas I write down. But need to just read for a few years first for inspiration. Look forward to this one, very precisely in my exact interests

Oluwamuyiwa313 (@oluwamuyiwa313) reported@yahoomail if there’s a problem with generating codes for email recovery you should at least tell your users so that we can switch on to another serious mail service…what’s this madness all about in sending out codes for text messages
-
Peter Harris (@peterharris1999) reported@yahoomail Second DM while her email is working on her laptop running windows 10, it’s telling her it’s not working on her iPad! And it’s repeating the statement that she can’t send or receive emails, which appears not to be true. Please get this sorted properly!

Daniel Joseph (@terna_24) reported@jamb_hq I had issues trying to login into my Jamb Portal because I forgot the password and when I went to jamb office in Bwari to change it you guys refuse to give the password to me. It's not fair to be honest, the mail I used is Yahoo mail
-
TejasKat (@TejasKat) reported@yahoomail @Yahoo @YahooNews I have been with Yahoo Mail for TWENTY-THREE+ YEARS! THIS monstrocity that you have created is THE WORST version ever created with NO way to switch it back!!! Email dates are all over the place. Nothing consolidated. WHAT A MESS! ..... FIX IT BACK!!!

Zubiqo (@zubiqo) reportedPortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

P (@P_Smallz) reportedyahoo mail is down and this made me come back to this platform after two years to report this @Yahoo but i guess I'm the only one still using their mailbox :/
-
Colin Eliot (@colin_eliot) reported@Yahoo I've been using Yahoo Mail for 20+ years. It's a fine product but I only need it to check mail. I don't care about login streaks or any of the badges it's trying to award me. Stop trying too hard and just deliver a quality email platform.

Lnn (@LN11) reported@Yahoo @yahoomail @YahooCare no you don't! Today not even 12 NOON, (102) SPAM EMAILS and counting!! FIX THIS NOW!!!
-
LMarie (@barefootfifer) reported@mary_aster She doesn’t have a recovery email? Or phone number? Go to the Yahoo Mail to the sign in helper. If she can’t remember her user name or password, it will send to the recovery email and she can get in from there. If her info has changed and she can’t remember, email or call yahoo

Brian Dean (@B5DEAN) reported@yahoomail I’ve been with you guys forever and all of a sudden this week it’s like your filters are not working. I am getting so much spam in my inbox, where I never did before. How can I fix this.?

Tuấn Vũ Anh (@BABEN2023) reported@sell8809 @Sidraholding I cannot sign in by my yahoo mail or apple ID, why?
-
CLars (@ChrisLarsenWI) reported@espnhomer Go to Settings (gear icon) > More Settings, or just look at the bottom left of your Yahoo Mail inbox for a storage bar. If you're at or near 100%, this is almost certainly your problem.
