Even though I have a custom email I regularly use for my business and other important things, I still use my old Yahoo! Mail a great deal. Whenever I need to sign up on websites I don’t trust, it’s what I use but in the last couple of weeks, I’ve been having issues signing in to my Yahoo mail on my phone. I kept seeing this error:
We’re sorry that you are having difficulty logging in. Please sign in from our desktop login screen and then try login again from our mobile login screen.
When I saw this for the first time, I fired up my notebook and logged in successfully but then I tried on mobile again and still got the same error. I thought it was from the Opera Mini browser I was using but then launced the Safari Browser on my iPhone but remained the same.
If you can’t log in to yahoo mail on mobile too, there’s a quick fix that’s going to log you in in no time.
- Visit http://login.yahoo.com/config/login
- You should be presented with the full version login page
- Input your username and password, hit the login button and fill the captcha
You should now be logged in. You may be shown the account information page but you can choose to go to the homepage and then acces your mail box from there!

What a great post, i now hav a solution.
I tried logging in using the link that you posted, but the input fields get blank everytime the page reloads. So in input my details again, and the same cycle happens. Any suggestions for this? Like you, i had no trouble logging in to yahoo mail before until now.

my yahoo mail not opening why? Please Advise me
Thanking you.
Alas, like Harsha above, the fields just get blanked over and over and over. This login / config trick doesn’t work. Loved the ironic touch though – requiring an email address to accept this comment. Absolutely hilarious. Almost as good as Yahoo’s “We’re *sorry* you’re having difficulties signing in…” (???!!!) Why can’t someone make them really, truly sorry – for creating their digital torture chamber (“Yahoo Mail”) in the first place?

This is Great post!
it’s works for me.
Thanks
This doesn’t work for me, any other suggestions? After visiting the page, it just takes me back to the login screen and when I input it again I get the same message as the first time! So frustrating!!
This doesn’t work for everybody. I tried this and I’ve got another error telling me that I need a browser with javascript activated…
This doesn’t work for me at all. I have a BlackBerry Curve 8530 and used to be able to log into all 3 of my yahoo mail accounts via the web with no problem. But about a week or so ago, every time I’ve tried to log in, I keep getting this same annoying message over and over and over again…..
“We’re sorry that you are having difficulty logging in. Please sign in from our desktop login screen and then try login again from our mobile login screen. ”
When I bring up the “desktop login screen” I’m unable to click into the password field or click on the ‘Sign In’ button. I’m able to access it with no problems on my laptop and my desktop, but no luck still on the BlackBerry.
Thanks, this worked for me.

still having the same error cant login what to do now ?
I had this error once and was able to fix like he did in this article.
This doesn’t work for me at all. I have a BlackBerry Curve 8520 and used to login but, I can’t. It still coming with “We’re sorry that you are having difficulty logging in. Please sign in from our desktop login screen and then try login again from our mobile login screen. ”
When I try the link suggested, the login screen just freezes as page appears locked. I’m unable to click into the username and password fields or click on the ‘Sign In’ button. I updated my profile by providing my mobile cell number for my BlackBerry but, this has not worked at all. Can you help please ?
Thanks for the info bro, it was really helpful. Google actually directed me this confirmed Naija tutorial site. Nice work here, keep it up.
