[News] Sign In to your Yahoo accounts to keep them active

If you have not signed into your Yahoo! accounts in the past 12 months, you should do so before the 15th of July in order to keep them active. Otherwise, your account will be deactivated and your username will be made available again to anyone.

New Zealanders owning Yahoo! accounts are being contacted in multiple ways including text messaging, sending to their alternative email address if they have one, and just a ‘We want you back’ message to their original accounts if they may have email forwarding set up.

Please note that this does not affect users on the Yahoo! Xtra email accounts, just the accounts that were created through Yahoo.com. But you may receive an email through your Yahoo! Xtra account if you have listed it as your secondary method of contact on your Yahoo.com email.

So to everyone else, from July 15, you can try to win back your favourite username if it was already taken before! Then in August, Yahoo! will notify you if you have been successful in winning back your username!

Good Luck!
