Migrating your Account
If your account is not yet migrated, then the login page will look a bit different. In order to start this automatic process, log in to your account using your login email address. (If you’re not sure what your login email address is, check out the troubleshooting steps in this article.)

FAQs
Do I Need to Set a New Password?
Yes, you will need to set a new password. You should use a strong, unique password to keep your account secure. The requirements for a new password are 12+ characters and no leading spaces.
We also recommend using a password manager, such as 1Password, to help keep track of all of your passwords.
Where Will I Receive Communications from Flickr?
The email address you select during migration will become both your login email and communications email.
What Happens to My Yahoo Account When I Migrate?
Your Yahoo account will continue to function independently of your Flickr account. This process does not affect your existing Yahoo login credentials. For information related to your Yahoo account, sign into your Yahoo account here.
Deleting your Yahoo account will not delete your Flickr account after you’ve upgraded to the new login system. Do not delete your Yahoo account if you have not upgraded to the new Flickr Login system.

How Can I Manage My Yahoo Account Settings?
Once you’ve migrated off of Yahoo login, this information isn’t tied to your Flickr account anymore. You’ll need to go to Yahoo’s website to manage your Yahoo account information.
Can I Keep My Yahoo Email Address to Sign in to Flickr?
You can continue to use your Yahoo email address as part of your credentials to sign in to Flickr, but you will need to set a new password for your Flickr account.
