Why am I unable to link multiple Yahoo! profiles to a single third-party account?

ID: SLN2067
Refers to: Yahoo! Account

Description

Why you are unable to link more than one Yahoo! account to a third-party account like Facebook or Twitter.


Cause

The third-party account that you attempted to link to your Yahoo! account has already been linked to another Yahoo! account.


Resolution

You may only have a single Yahoo! account linked to a third-party account (e.g., Facebook, Twitter).

If you want to link your third-party account to a different Yahoo! account, you first need to unlink your third-party account from the original Yahoo! account:

  1. Log in to Yahoo! as the linked account owner.
  2. Navigate to your account's Manage Updates page.
  3. Click the Manage link to the right of "Linked Account Settings."
  4. Click the Remove link to the right of any third-party accounts you wish to unlink.

Once the third-party account is unlinked, you will be able to link it with another Yahoo! account.

Note: If you have forgotten the username and password for your linked Yahoo! account, please contact Yahoo! Customer Care.
