Yahoo Email - My number is associated with my account but verification codes are not being sent to my phone number
I've encountered the dreaded glitch where Yahoo Mail locks down your email account. It then tells you you need to recieve a verification code. This should be a quick fix however Yahoo is not sending a verification code to my phone, despite my number being associated with the account.
I've been getting messed around massively by Yahoo just trying to gain access to the account. I have no idea how to fix this problem because it seems like it might be intentional.
All my most important stuff is linked to this email address, my banking, my paypal, my taxes, government stuff, even my steam account and hytale accounts.
Going through Yahoo just sends me around in circles over and over again. They don't seem to want to help me at all. It feels like this "glitch" might actually be intentionally designed because my email address was so old and I'm not a paying customer.
Is there any way I can fix this problem or is my email lost forever?
