Login to sbcglobal. net Email Takes Me to AT&T Login Page?

My 83-year-old mother has an sbcglobal.net email account from when she had AT&T years ago and she has always accessed her email via the Yahoo web site. Suddenly she is being taken to the AT&T login page, and is unable to login, because it says her password is wrong. We've tried multiple times and are now locked out. We also tried the password reset and it brings up security questions she never set up, so we cannot get past those, either. What the heck is going on?

Announcement: If you received an email to set up password recovery options for your AT&T Mail account, it is the real deal from AT&T. If you find out that you cannot remember your email or password, we have solutions for you below. 

Top 3 Email Solutions

Using a client? Can't Sign In? Yahoo.com vs Currently.com
If you are having a hard time using your client, you may need to set up AT&T's New Security Feature to sign-in. Sometimes we forget our passwords and enter the wrong one. Resetting your password is one of the fastest ways to get back into your account.  If you are routed to AT&T's Sign-in, this is normal. Just use your att.net, sbcglobal.net, or bellsouth.net as normal. 
Learn about Oauth and Secure Mail Key and compaible clients. Make sure you are using the right ID. Find it now. Still having trouble? Using a different browser or clear cache and cookies

 

If you have a free email account, you can reset the password at our email reset page.

  1. Go to Forgot Password page.
  2. Enter your User Name/ email address.
  3. Enter your Last Name.
  4. Follow the prompts.

If you are having issues with loading the login page, go to currently.com and click on the mail icon at the top right.

I am having same problems even though I know my AT&T user ID and password. So even though my password is still correct it takes me to the ATT.NET email account page instead

The solution is bizarre, but thanks so much for posting a resolution. I found a workaround, but it was ridiculously complex for such a simple problem, so I didn't share it.

I can't login to my att.net email account. I had this account for about 23 years.  I normally access it from my phone. I had to get a new phone. Because the old one crashed. Now i'm locked out of my account and can't remember the answer to the security questions.

I have had my sbcglobal.net for several years and this is the second time within a few months that I can not get access to it.  It goes to AT&T and ask for user ID and password.  Everything I put in does not work.  The error message shows Carecode 205.2 (Lu003)  I have tried everything it tells me to do and nothing works.  Even the security questions tell me it's incorrect.

I can't access my sbcglobal email on my iPad. So I started researching & found out they’re having issues with Apple products. She said to try opening my account on my PC. Sure enough I can still get in when I use my personal computer. 

Sbc stands for South Bell Central which is now called AT&T.

I’ve had this account for 23 years & accessed my email every day on my iPad. Suddenly a few weeks ago I could no longer get into my account. When speaking to the AT&T rep, she said they were working overtime to get everybody on 5G. Maybe that’s the problem.

As long as your PC isn’t by Apple (or your phone or tablet) then you should get access to your Yahoo email.
