Thanks for that info, it really helps! Here are some steps Yahoo recommends, as this could be a Yahoo related issue:


  1. Clear your browser's cookies.
  2. Close and re-open your browser, then try signing in again.
  3. If you're having trouble signing directly into a Yahoo Mail or a different product page, try signing in to the primary Yahoo login page.
  4. Complete these steps again using a different supported browser.

You can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account on your Mac. This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.

Hello Al-kashrie,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I know having an issue with your Yahoo account on your devices is not what you expect. If I understand correctly, you are getting a prompt to enter your Yahoo password on both your Mac and iPhone. The simplest step would be to sign out of your Yahoo account on both devices, restart the Mac and iPhone and then sign back into your Yahoo accounts.
