I have the same issue.

Fortunately I can log in if I remember just correctly what email I used for my Yahoo! account. my browser fortunately remembers and the credentials in lightroom still allow my to put stuff up there.

If your browser has the password saved then you can extract it now and save it to a more secure place, like a password manager. Presumably you could then use it to update your Yahoo! account email to a current, working address.

As noted here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30013032/prevent-user-to-... you can get it using your browser's web inspector dev tool.

FWIW, Firefox lets you view the stored passwords directly (about:preferences#security → Saved Logins → Show Passwords). Very useful feature :)

If it's Chrome, you can just go to Settings -> Show advanced settings... -> Manage passwords. Then click on a password and click Show.

You could probably pull your password out if you really need it.
