The two step verification code is sent by text to the mobile number you used when you activated it. Is that what you mean?

 

So far as I'm aware, your mobile isn't involved when you reset or update your password.

If you kept a separate note of your Recovery Code, as Sky recommended when you set up 2 step verification you can use it now to turn it off.

 

If not, see Sky's help in the 'Important' box here: https://www.sky.com/help/home/sky-yahoo-mail/two-step-verif/articles/two-step-verification

@JOHN0961 

How did you change your password? Was it via this link

 https://skyid.sky.com/resetpassword/email ?

 

Are you sure the password has been changed? Can you log into your Sky account here:

https://www.sky.com/myaccount/my-details with it?

 

If you do log in as above, what happens if you select Yahoo mail from the drop down menu under your name in the top right hand corner.

 

Were you using 2FA before you changed the password, and were the codes going to the correct phone number?
