Disturbed sleep

I am just so hung up on this Yahoo issue. It is crazy.
I did not sleep well. One thing concerning me was my pay pal for so many sites. It is through the missing address. If you send to the address you get a bounce back.
MyLot pay day is coming up soon. Luckily, due to some mistakes about eighteen years ago I have a paypal account linked to hubby's email. I went in and made sure I could access it. Then I put it on my profile for myLot.
While I was at it, I could sign in to my paypal that is connected to the bad address. I just transferred all the money that was there over to the one I will start using. So I will not lose that.
On the other hand, because I cleared my cache and all my logins, I have to sign back in to everything. Some of them I have lost the passwords for, or written them down wrong. I have money in their accounts. IF I change the password, they send a confirmation link to the blocked e mail. Yikes. I have almost seventy dollars at one site.
So this is what I thought about instead of sleeping until after 1:00 a.m.

Link? I never have found a support line to call. I would be so grateful if you do have one.

@GardenGerty I see that the link I posted does not show up, may be it was against the guidelines.

I was a bit more lucky and managed to get into and older e-mail account through having the habit of writing things down.
Fingers crossed you can get back into those places and pick up your money.

Oh, I have the password. Yahoo has, for some reason, put a hold on my account. It says "we do not recognize this account" it says my phone number "does not look right". I try a recovery account and it is not recognized, either.

Try them again as its probably an issue again and we have had that happen to us before so don´t fret too much.
Beat them at their own game.

Yeah, that would keep me awake at night, too.
PayPal has both of my addies.

Yeah, me too. Some websites say I have a damaged registry.

I hope so too. If not, well it is a bitter lesson learned.

i hate the sites that complicate the method for creating passwords. you must have a capital letter, a symbol and a number, be between 6 and 12 characters long.
some just say- more than 6 characters long.
some just want numbers.
i confuse mine all the time. its not unusual that i hit 3 failed log ins and must wait 15 minutes to try again.

This is not a password issue. It is a yahoo issue. I have the passwords, secret questions and everything. It just does not acknowledge that e mail being in its system. Then, I tried to open a new account with it, since they say they cannot find it, and they say that it is in use.
