I'd forgotten my yahoo password but wanted to change it.
They sent a code to my phone and I was able to do that.
Then I tried to set up 2 factor authentication but I am unable to do it. It keeps rejecting the same phone number
as being either invalid or not recognised as a contact, no matter which format I choose to enter it. I've dropped the interational prefix, added it, added and dropped the plus sign, added and dropped the 0 after the international prefix etc etc.
I'd dump yahoo altogether except it's the email for my paypal for over a decade and i can't change that.
Paypal says I can't change it because it's my primary email address.
I prefer using authenticator anyway rather than sms 2fa and yahoo don't offer that it seems
