#forgot my yahoo password

[loser-brain]

So, Google just released a new way to mess with everyone.

Google accounts with inactivity (for 2 years) will be deleted.

This is a positive and a negative honestly.

Positive: Finally, accounts that were just made solely to either have free trials or just to make many accounts to follow your favorite on. Are finally going to disappear. In other words, allowing other people to use that email name.

Negative: I have an old email that is holding information. Because of storage issues. I'm not paying extra for storage. Fuck off with that.

So how can you prevent your Google account from deletions?

Enter to your Gmail once a year (the simplest way to keep it active), use google drive, watch YouTube videos (link with that Gmail), share a (google) photo, use Google searches with that Gmail, read or send emails with that Gmail and finally, use the Google third-party sign-in feature with that Google account.

There are exceptions to this new policy.

"Examples include: a Google Account with YouTube channels, videos or comments; an account that has a gift card with a monetary balance; or an account that has a published application, for example, one that hosts an app on the Google Play store..."

For every single Google account, if your account is eligible for deletion, will be sent a warning email by Google informing you that the account will be deleted on whatever date has been chosen (for now every "inactive account and any content in it will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023"). If you have a recovery email, two emails will be sent. One email will be sent to the account that is eligible to be deleted and another to the recovery email.

This is their way of making it easier for you to keep that account active.

"Our priority is to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your account active, if you want to, and we’ll ensure you have adequate notice before any account is impacted by this change. So before an account is deleted, Google will send email notifications to the Google Account and its recovery email (if one has been provided)."

This policy was updated yesterday (July 28, 2023, around 8:01am EST).

My guess is that Dec 1st, 2023 is when the clock starts. But idk and I highly recommend everyone go to your inactive accounts just so they can be deemed safe from the purge. Also, recommend making a recovery email if that Gmail is important to you and needs to be kept alive.

An idea of mine but will not recommend it unless someone can vouch it's a good idea. Make a scheduled email and have that sent to your account like a 'hey future me' kind of thing. As long as the account is active and is sending emails it should be fine right. However, I think Google is more seeing if you are actually checking your Gmail or using your Google account. But hey, it's a good idea, right?

did i tell you about the time i would write full novels about winged wolves, chapter by chapter, in an e-mail specifically for my friend to read and no one else? i want to read them again so bad but i can't recover them bc they're on my old yahoo account, and i forgot my old password. it was probably something like luvzanimals1 or someshit. that is so sad.

So I'm organizing my email addresses today into categories like personal, social, and extra. When I opened my first email account on Yahoo, I received an email offering an easy way to recover my Instagram account, which I couldn't access because I forgot the password. I decided to give it a few tries, and voila, I just recovered my very first Instagram account from 2012.

So now I've updated my profile, archived my two posts from 2012, and uploaded some recent photos.

I'm not sure if I can keep this up, but I'll try to post here the photos that didn't make it to my main account.

Lets be ig moots. 😊

01/30/24 - Your master has betrayed you

Has anyone else noticed technology being all wonky lately?

I went to the library the other day to print a few things. I send my images to myself via e-mail, and I forgot my little password notebook so I couldn’t log into my email. However, I had my iPad with me in case I took a last look before printing and caught something that needed to be fixed, so I figured I could just make a new temporary email and send them with that. Simple fix, no problem.

I try making a Microsoft account. They have a series of “tests” to prove you’re a human. The visual test is a seemingly random string of letters and numbers and a picture of a robot, with absolutely NO instruction as to what you’re supposed to do with them. Is it a code? Am I supposed to drag something somewhere (no, unless the dragging thing wasn’t working in my browser). So there’s an audio test. Which of three audio samples changes instruments half way through? I don’t have my headphones with me, but I’m hidden in the back of the library away from everyone anyway, I figure if I keep it on the lowest setting right up to my ear, it should be fine.

I get through the first test fine. Then it informs me there are three more to go! I don’t hear a single sample that changes instruments in the second test. I listen to it again. A woman comes in and sits at the other end of the table to work on a puzzle. I’m sitting there listening to these stupid audio samples over and over because NONE OF THEM have any instrument changes. Now I feel like an asshole because I’m not alone anymore, listening to music in a library without headphones. RUDE. And I’m getting frustrated because I’ve listened to these samples how many times, and none of them are right. So I start guessing. I make two guesses, fail both, I get to start the tests all over.

Fine, fuck Microsoft anyway.

I can’t use Yahoo, because I’ve tried it for this exact purpose and I think they might have a daily upload limit? I have three fairly large images to upload, so that’s not an option. I try AOL. I didn’t even know AOL was still a thing. Every time I try to check if the email I want is available it tells me there’s an error, try again in a few minutes.

I go to Google, search best free email providers. The first option it gives me isn’t free. The second one says it sent me a validation text. I never got the text, so I press resend, still no text.

I give up at this point. It shouldn’t take more than two minutes to make a new email, if that, and I’ve been through three different options with no success, it SHOULD NOT be this hard. I finally decide to just go home and come back the next day.

And this isn’t even like a one time thing. It’s been happening a lot lately. Very simple things just NOT WORKING. Either technology has specifically singled me out to stop working properly, or there is some kind of universal devolution of technology going on. Too many people using it and it’s starting to malfunction maybe?

Honestly, I’d be okay with that after a while, I think. There would definitely be an extraordinarily bumpy transition period, sure, but I think I would survive just fine. Take us back to the “dark ages” where technology didn’t poison everything it touches.

How to Reset Yahoo Mail Password

Sometimes you may have problems when trying to log in to your Yahoo account because you forgot your account password. How to Recover Yahoo 1-833-610-1318 Password Without Phone Number or Alternate ID Well, that's not a big problem. You can easily reset your Yahoo account password using your recovery phone number or your alternate email.

There are some cases where you do not have access to your recovery contact resources (alternate phone and email). I experienced the same problem and was worried about how to reset my Yahoo password without email or alternate phone numbers because I no longer use that phone or email.

Here I have shared some instructions to reset your Yahoo password without using phone and recovery email as follows:

How to reset or recover Yahoo password without phone number or alternative ID

Open your web browser

Go to the Yahoo Mail login page

Click Forgot Password

Enter your Yahoo username (email address)

Click Next

If you have options such as sending your numeric code via SMS or sending a link to an email, you should skip them by clicking I don't have access to this phone and I don't have access to this email.

Now you will have the option to answer the security questions, you must click OK

Now answer the security questions correctly and click submit.

If the answers are correct, the password reset screen will appear.

Enter the new password

Confirm the new password

Click OK or DONE

Once you've clicked Done, you'll be logged into your account, and if you want to access your Yahoo account with another device, you can start using the new password. This is how to recover your Yahoo password without a phone number and an alternative email.

If you have not set up security questions on your Yahoo account, you will not have the option to answer security questions for account recovery.

HOLY SHIT I FUCKING FOUND IT.

THANK AZAR

I have spent approximately the past 60 hours trying to find Srentha's old blog. It had so many silly and fun RPs and a lot of character building stuff!

I THOUGHT I remembered remaking his blog (the one that's a sideblog to this account), renaming the old blog so I could give the New Blog the Same URL, but I couldn't remember Exactly how I'd changed the old blog's url.

I originally thought it was just a sideblog of my old personal account, but I logged in and looked at the sideblog list and nearly panicked when I couldn't find it there. (Apparently I in fact have 3 emlog blogs, though??? Should probably consolidate those someday.)

Then I remembered that, way back then, a full decade ago, I had originally made Dove and Srentha's blogs as their own accounts! So I tried to log in to his!

It took me approximately 24 hours of scrounging around in my memories to remember what I used as "his" email address and password.

(It had been 3 days of Desperately Trying to Find This Blog, so the story gets even longer and even more frustrating.)

Then, when I finally remembered I made HIS OWN EMAIL ADDRESS, and what I THOUGHT I remembered the password (I swear to Azar, I had made it the same format as Dove's password, just altering the number and the name), Tumblr wouldn't let me log in without a verification email.

Problem is, Yahoo also wouldn't let me log in to his email. Even though, 10 years later, I still remember what his ID and password were because they were so Pretty and Poetic and Distinctive that they stuck out in my memory. So I couldn't find the URL by simply logging in to the account.

(Also, I "coded" the Yahoo Security Verification Question Answers for his account. Which was a stupid thing to do because then I had to Play Detective because I forgot how I'd coded them. One of them was "Where did you meet your spouse?" And I was like, that's Dove! That's Azarath, duh! Except that wasn't it. I had invented Seranath by then; maybe that's what I used? But no. It took me approximately 3 hours and several attempts using various capitalization techniques in case it was cAsE sEnSiVe to remember I had simply called it, "home." But then it asked me "What was your first pet's name?" SRENTHA'S BIRD HAS HAD SO MANY NAMES OVER THE YEARS. Fuck if I know which one I used! I tried Janellera, Sheera, and Sieara in case I used Dove's, but then it locked me out. Bleh. I might have used Survivor, which is what his name was meant to mean. But Yahoo wouldn't let me try again.)

So just as I was about to make an act of desperation: attempt reaching out to friends who had RP'd with him to see if they still had access to any posts his old blog may have liked/reblogged and maybe The Notes Section would show me His Current URL, I remembered something crucial.

After this blog/account became my Permanent Residence, I went to check my old blog and couldn't find it. Which was Distressing, don't get me wrong. But I quickly found out Tumblr changes the URLs of blogs on old, inactive accounts (ones that aren't Fully Deleted, just unused for a period of time) by adding "-blog" at the end of the URL.

So, fairly quivering with desperation and hope, I tried that. His regular, default, years-long URL.... with "-blog" at the end.

And it came right up!

It loaded beautifully! It's all there! The old patchwork theme with silly fun pictures and all the RPs I remembered and then some, and headcanons lists I don't even remember filling out! Everything I hoped to find and more!

(If you're curious, it's at @highpriest-in-training-blog. There's a lot of Random Fun and RP Fun to go around there, but I can't log into his account At All, so it won't ever be updated, unfortunately.)

I'm so incredibly relieved, you have No Idea. It really shouldn't have been this frustrating to try logging into something WHEN I KNOW THE EMAIL AND PASSWORD! But it WAS.

But now I'm just so relieved I'm a bit emotionally exhausted. Whew,

Lost and locked out

So I lost my phone earlier this week and that puts me in this situation where I have no way to access anything. To explain, I dropped my phone in May, I believe, and suddenly it wouldn’t read my sim card anymore. Upon googling my problem, I discovered that this is a common occurence with the Google Pixel 4a’s, which I had. So I reach out to Google to see if anything can be done since it is a common problem with their phones and no fault of the customers. Well, Google tells me that they would absolutely repair the motherboard in my phone for me if it were within the warranty date (one year), which had just passed in March. They refused to accommodate me despite this being an error on their part. To repair the phone, it would cost $350. I only owed like $50 left on the phone before I owned it and could upgrade. So I said fuck it. It’s still wifi capable, so I will live with it until I can figure something else out because it wasn’t worth paying that much when they phone will not even be receiving updates anymore after next year. Plus, I was having a serious fit one day and shattered my phone screen by throwing it at what I thought was a soft object and in fact turned out to be rock hard. So that left me with a phone with a shattered screen and wouldn’t read a sim card, but could do everything else as long as I had wifi. Even without wifi, I could still accomplish some stuff. Well, my stupid ass must have left it on top of my brother’s car while I was outside smoking and forgot it there. We were in the Wal-Mart parking lot, so I figured it’d be there somewhere. Nope. Nothing. I called the store multiple times to see if maybe they had found it inside somewhere, but no dice. One morning I even took my brother-in-law’s car and followed the exact route we took and went slowly to see if I could find it anywhere. I got out the car at places we turned and it could’ve flew off into the grass or something. Still nothing. And I recently had some problems with identity theft: someone tried opening up a bank account in my name with my email address. So because of this, I increased security on my accounts to be safe and added 2-step verification. Well, now without a phone at all, I have no access to my phone number to read texts for the verification code and no access to my email for the code because the only place I’m signed in at is on my old phone because, again, my stupid ass erased all my cookies on my computer because it was running slow and that logged me out of all of my sites. Which creates my problem where I’m trying to log into my account, but need to have access to my texts or email. And I don’t even access to my Yahoo emails either because I turned on a security code for that as well and the only way to get the code is to have the app that is on my phone generate the numbers for you to put in and it refreshes every 30 seconds. So this week has fucking suuuucked without any access to anything. My computer is the only link to the outside world that I have and I can only access some of the things I need on it because many are only on apps or in my google cloud. And what really stresses me out is will I even be able to get into my new phone when I get it without being able to verify the code? Like does it let you get past the setup stage so I’d have access to my texts first? Like that is the only way I can think of that would get me back into my Google account. And I NEED back into my Google account because my whole life is on there. I would be devastated if I had to start over. And Google can’t even help because they don’t have anything to do with the passwords or the verification codes, at least according to Google. So here’s hoping I can indeed get my new phone today or tomorrow and that I can work this out and get back into my Google and Yahoo accounts soon.

Every time I think tumbl.r’s a functioning website, I find some other stupid thing they’ve done omg.

[ferretteeth]

As someone who used Mac the majority of my life but got a PC this year I can tell you the biggest difference is Windows does shit with zero warning and no explanation. Why can’t I enter my password? Don’t know, but plugging in the mouse helped. Why does it keep switching my search engine to yahoo? Why has McAfee been saying it’s 1 week trial runs out soon for now 9 months?

Mac will warn you before it opens up random programs while Windows just suddenly opens browsers I forgot I existed like they’re tagging in surprise WWE champions. Who’s that in the front row OH FUCK IT’S OPERA 🗣🗣🗣

Hi! I'm interested in F and X for the writer ask thing.

F. Fanfiction - What got you into fanfiction?

Hah. It was the year of the lord 2004 and I was obsessed with this Finnish band... and since the Internet was a different place back then, I ended on a BB forum for the band, got to know the community, and the mod got me in their fanfic writing group. It was the first time I saw fanfic, and started writing myself in 2005. Yep, RPF, when I realized that people wrote fanfics about shows and such I was SHOOK.

Fandom was more siloed back then, my sole contact with it was via LiveJournal, so it was hard to just run into other people enjoying other things. But after that band I discovered Doctor Who and Torchwood, did a spell of writing for Torchwood for a while (still on LiveJournal).

Someone in my RPF fandom was among the people to work on setting up AO3 so I got an account right as it went live but there were hardly any fanfics there yet (lol, obviously) and I didn't get it so I forgot about it until last year.

I also wrote for Star Trek around 2009, then took a break until two idiots kissed in a chapel and, after more than a decade's break, I started writing again! It took me a while to find the rest of the fandom on Tumblr (which looked different than 2008 Tumblr when I first joined) and on Twitter, which also looked different to 2010 Twitter that I used to actually use back then. (both are uglier now, ugh).

And I already answered X earlier. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, anon! <3 It's been a wild ride. Honestly, writing fanfiction back when you still had to use disclaimers before every fic, when writers got served cease & desist letters, the fact that we had our own fanfic archive on a private, password-protected server and we changed that password every 2 weeks and shared it on our Yahoo Groups. man. Fandom has changed a lot!

[milimiki]

I literally forgot the password to my Yahoo account, but fuck it, that’s what I’ll use.

No, the email that I used to make a miHoYo account, which I just deleted, doesn’t work right now.

I have a fucking headache.

[firedragon97]

trying to change my password on this hellsite and not only did it direct me to yahoo, it directed me to YAHOO IN GERMAN, then let me change my password only for it to not actually change on tumblr

if i lose this account go to my other socials and find my new one because jesus christ

maybe using the forgot password button on login will actually work

Instagram: How many I help you?

Me: Yes, I would like to make an account with this username and email address.

IG: Ooh, sorry.  We already have that username and email address on file. 

Me: Uh, okay.  Guess I made one a long time ago and forgot.  Could I sign in with that username?

IG: No, because we don’t have any accounts with that username.

Me: Ooooohhhhkay.  Can you send the password to my email address then?

IG: No, because we don’t have any accounts with that email address. 

Me: So can I use that username and/or email address to make a new account?

IG: No, because they’re already being used.

Me:  ???

(I had tried to sign up with Facebook a few minutes prior, but it didn’t work.  I mean, I thought it didn’t.  I couldn’t log in, but it probably used the same information.  I tried to reset the password on the username, but it sent an email to an old yahoo account that looks like it could have been mine at some point (some of the letters are blotted out), and I don’t have access to it.)

tl;dr I’m never getting Instagram I guess.
