Yahoo OpenID doesn't work
I cannot login using Yahoo OpenIDs. I have several Yahoo accounts, and none of them will work. I get this error message at the end of the OpenID login: "We couldn't set up that account, the most likely reason is that there is already an account with the same email address. " This makes no sense, since I'm not using an email to login, but an OpenID.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?We are asking for the email attached to the OpenID, so perhaps that's the issue. Do you have any existing feeds/account you want to access, or is this a new account?
If existing feeds, could you let me know the twitter account you're posting to, so I can take a look at the corresponding user account. It may also be useful to know the email address attached to your Yahoo! OpenID, so I can take a closer look (if you don't want to share this, contact me at mario at menti dot net).2 Comments

I can't log in either, same thing. Yahoo email is timmelideo and so is the twitter ID. i would love to be able to not have to use openid and to sign up with a new account directly on twitterfeed. i have several accounts attached to my current twitterfeed though. -
You could create a new account, then send me the details to mario at menti dot net and I'll try and get it done manually.

Inappropriate?The most recent YahooID I've tried is HellerChiroOC@yahoo.com. There is an existing feed that I need to modify (it's posting to the wrong Twitter account). I need to change the destination Twitter account from drgilkentof to hellerchiro.
I don't think it's a problem with the Yahoo account, because this feed was setup by one of my guys, but I can't access it. I used to be able to login through OpenID, but that stopped a couple weeks ago. I switched to creating twitterfeed accounts, but he was still using OpenID for a while, and now I can't get in to modify it.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks,

There are 2 accounts with one feed each posting to the 'drgilkentof' twitter account, but neither is an OpenID, both are "normal" email/password accounts. Does that help?

Inappropriate?Multiple people on our staff have tried and are still unable to login. I need you to either reset the Heller account to an email that I give you or close it and I will setup a new account.
The other issue that I need to work on with you is my inability to login using OpenID with Yahoo. I have a couple dozen accounts that were setup this way and I cannot access any of them. Like I said, OpenID with Yahoo worked for me up until a couple weeks ago, but then stopped and has not worked since.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed on these issues. Thanks, Jason1 Comment Add a comment

Can you contact me directly (email mario at menti dot net) to discuss moving the Heller account to a different email address, and see if there's anything we can do with the Yahoo! OpenID. It's a strange issue, as we have tens of thousands of users who login via Yahoo! OpenID without problems, as far as I can tell.

Inappropriate?I'm having this problem too. Every time I try to login via yahoo, it takes me to a page that says "this page has expired". I need to get in urgently to cancel a feed to the Twitter account culture24.
Help?
I’m anxious, frustrated, confused

It seem Yahoo! jhave revamped their OpenID login pages, but I can't replicate the problem here - have you tried clearing cache, reload windows etc.? It sounds like it's somehow related to the changes Yahoo! made, but unfortunately I can't see it happening here so can't be totally sure.
