Try resetting password to something completely new and ONLY with letters/numbers (no special characters). That did the trick for me!

verizonmojo,

The PW change you refered to was for your "My Verizon" logon ....? And that PW change allowed you to access your Verizon-Yahoo mail box..?

Thanks..

I too have been unable to access my Verizon Yahoo emails.  After Yahoo had its big data breach, Verizon agent recommended that i use webmail.verizon.net to logon and that worked fine for quite some time.  As others in the thread have stated, I received prompts to change My Verizon pwd and did.  After that, the only way I found I could log into my email was using Chrome Incognito browser making me think there was something going on with cache.  Nonetheless, it worked so I used it.  Several weeks ago that stopped working but I did find a link at the bottome of My Verizon page that said "Check Email" so I tried that and it worked up until several days ago.  Now I am completely unable to access my Verizon Email despite repeated attempts, the "Check Email" link no longer appears at the bottom of My Verizon page, and although I chatted with Verizon Help two days ago I am 'still' unable to login and access my email with is a big problem at this point.  The Agent I chatted with said that the login problem I was experiencing was known and should be resolved by yesterday afternoon.  I tried several times last night with no success.  HELP!

Correct  -- I was having the same issue as many here.  I could log in to Verizon.com but could not access email at Yahoo (which always worked before).  This all started when I change my password a week+ ago.  Even though Verizon allows special characters, Yahoo doesn't (or there's a temp issue with them).

So once I re-changed my password to ONLY letters/numbers, I've been able to login on both Yahoo and Verizon with the same pw.

Thank you verizonmojo!  I changed my password to only letters and numbers and I can now see my emails.

Apparently everybody is happy with the fix of removing special characters from your password. Do you realize that that weakens your password, for a primary email account, with a carrier that has recently had a massive security breach? Verizon should not have removed its "check email" service until it had resolved this problem with Yahoo--which Verizon now owns.

I have not been able to access my email now for days, and the only way I can do so is to essentially open it up to hackers.

This is what you get when your country does nothing to break up monopolies.
