With the news of the separation of AT&T and Yahoo mail, it became clear that AT&T and Yahoo users would face difficulties. Also, the reason for their partition was seen as security and to offer better security to their users, they both decided to work separately.
This partition raised a lot of questions and users wondered what happened to their AT&T and Yahoo email account.

Signing up for an AT&T account allows you to manage all of your account settings, billing, and preferences.
The merger of AT&T and Yahoo
When Yahoo and AT&T merged, people were able to use a merged account, that is, a combined account where they could access the services of AT&T and Yahoo accounts.
This is how you can check if you have a merged account:

- Sign in to your AT&T account with your Yahoo email address.
- You can sign in with your Yahoo account and AT&T email address.
- You are receiving email from both accounts in the same place.
- Resetting your AT&T password will also reset your Yahoo account password
- If you try to log in to Yahoo mail, it will redirect you to ‘AT&T’ web page.

Also, some users reported problems when they started using Yahoo and AT&T after their partnership.
