I'm shocked at how bad Yahoo is. I've mostly ignored them for years, but yesterday I had a reason to log in - a small manufacturer uses a yahoo group for support. I've had an account for a decade or so, but didn't know the password. The backup email account looked oddly like my real email with a "2" appended on the end of the user name.
Thinking there is no way this would work, I signed up for a new account with that email address and used it to recover the password for my old account! I must have made up an address when they pestered me about a backup email.
Here is what shocked me:
1) Forgot your password page hung several times. It sat there for minutes and I had refresh and go at it again.
2) New account - verify phone with a code. The page to submit the code would spin and time out after a few minutes. After a few failed attempts they wouldn't let me try anymore - but they still let me log in. Did I really verify my phone or skip it? I don't know or care.
3) I found the group I needed to use. I couldn't find a button to post or join the group. I googled. I had to log in on my phone to get a Join button - there isn't on on a PC.
Yahoo is falling apart. I knew nobody cared about yahoo, but I didn't know until yesterday that the people at yahoo don't care about yahoo.
