AT&T Email Login Impossible (Likely Hacked)

It's been years since I was last able to access my att.net email. Not for lack of trying, mind you. Anytime I attempt a login, I am told that my username/password combination is not recognized despite typing exactly what I wrote in my password notebook.

Trying to reset my password has been a real test of patience. I know that I myself am not without fault, however; This would probably be much simpler if I could remember the answers to my security questions.

Considering my abhorrent neglect for password security all those years ago, I have reason to believe that the account has been hacked.

I've resolved that I would like one of two things to happen to my att.net email: 1) have access to the account restored or 2) delete the account outright. Neither of these things seem possible without outside help.

Hi there, @Mesmerman3742 ! We understand the importance of being able to access your email, and we want to help check on any login options that may be available for you. 

 

So that we can dig a little deeper into any password reset options you may have, we'll need to speak privately. Check the Direct Message inbox in the top right corner of your screen. We'll be sending you a DM shortly and look forward to speaking with you!

I had the same issue! It’s no longer the password that I have written down and saved in my iCloud keychains. When I input the email into Yahoo to see if they could help, they said they could text a security code to the number on file, but it’s not my phone number!!! It’s so scary and frustrating. Still trying to get help from AT&T on it as I’ve called 4 times and am now awaiting help in a private chat for the second time.
