How Does Yahoo Password Recovery work?

Yahoo password recovery methods include:

• Reset your Yahoo password online
• Recover your Yahoo password from your web browser
• Recover your stored password from the Windows Registry

Reset your Yahoo password

The easiest way to recover a Yahoo password is to go to the Yahoo! Sign-in Problems page.

To use this page, first enter your Date of Birth, Zip Code, and Country to verify your identity.

Next, enter your Yahoo ID and Yahoo will e-mail your Yahoo password to the e-mail account associated with it.

If you can not remember your Yahoo ID, enter the e-mail address you used when you signed up for your Yahoo account and Yahoo will e-mail your Yahoo ID to that account.

If you no longer have access to the e-mail account associated with your Yahoo ID, Yahoo will refuse to assist you.
