If you’re in the USA you can follow the steps I followed to get my old email back as I’ll list below. Yahoo customer service by phone is a paid service though, so be prepared to spend $5-$12 depending on whatever their system decides. You get a month of phone support service tho.
Go to
https://recovery.yahoo.com/
Fill out your email, call the phone number and provide them the code. If they tell you they can’t find alternate ways to verify your account set up a phone call more than 12 hours later and re start the process. I had to do this three times 10-24 hours apart before their system would let them use a secondary form of account verification. The number for recovery suppprt is +18007417610

I have two recovery emails. And tried it. The second recovery email got blocked for no reason. Could the account be compromised and now affecting the recovery email ?
