I will move heaven and earth to solve this for you. We're moving off of Yahoo Auth as soon as we can, but can likely fix before that (which will take awhile). Raising this up the flag pole.

Wow. The comments are gold. We should have a best of HN with materials like this and the one on foundationdb.

Yeah I'm stuck in Yahoo purgatory too. I have a Flickr account pointing at a valid email address, and an existing desktop and mobile session for that Flickr account. However, I can't actually create a new session by logging in because Yahoo wants to do its 2FA thing with a defunct email address. I can't add a valid email address to the Yahoo account because I need to create a new session to do this. The defunct address itself is no longer associated with the Flickr account and Yahoo/Verizon support has formally abandoned account support.

Perhaps. Uploads are timing out for me, it may just be time to abandon Flickr for good.
Could't bring yourself to say "Oath Auth", eh?
I’m the same. Worst part is, I’m pretty sure I know the account. But eh aside from getting access to that account, I have all those photos, so less stress there :)
Let's dig in and see what we can do. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16889578
I have the exact same issue. Anything you can do to make it possible to reclaim my account after the yahoo login nonsense would be amazing.
We'd love to help. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16889578

So what will replace it? I've been a Flickr user for more than 10 years.
Already designing and architecting that. Should be great. Stay tuned.
Maybe they'll return the Flickr logins to users?

I would be very surprised if what they did wasn’t common sense. Their track record has been fantastic.
same. I tried connecting with yahoo support a few times and I can even see the public photos of one of my accounts but cannot login or download the originals, and they could not reconcile my yahoo login account with my flickr account.
I hope we can figure this out. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16889578
