sub accounts not working, all 5 of them

last week, i migrated my parent(main) account from yahoo to native verizon (after a spoof message from my account caused the need to change my password).  since then, i have been unable to log into any sub accounts.  each time i try to log into a sub account, it tosses me to a pin and then when pin is entered, it tosses me back to the parent account whose password, i do not want to change. I even went so far as to go into myverizon and delete one subaccount completely. when tried to add it back in using the same email address/username, it won't allow, saying that it's already taken.  in the meantime, i found that i could receive messages on the sub accounts using my iphone with the inbound setting to the verizon port but can only send messages from these accounts using the old yahoo port.  so, it seems that there is a massive communication error between yahoo and verizon and it appears that this is a years long contiuing issue from reading these message boards.  i believe that someone at verizon needs to take ownership of this and fix it before verizon ends up being hacked through an open yahoo back door. oh, i should mentio that i tried the support chat, which led to a phone call and no solution!
