Yahoo and its associations
Yahoo is related to both AT&T and Verizon in some way. Previously, I had a contract with AT&T and the att.net yahoo login was working at the time. But in 2017, AT&T informed its users that they will no longer be able to sign in to Yahoo accounts using their AT&T account. Thereafter, all major AT&T domains were affected including: att.net, bellsouth.net, ameritech.net, flash.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, sbcglobal.net, snet.net, prodigy .net, swbell.net, and wans.net, so you will no longer be able to use them to sign in to your Yahoo account.
Verizon later acquired Yahoo’s business stating that it will merge it with AOL, but that won’t affect Yahoo’s email login in any way.
