How do I get my Yahoo Email Password?
If you lose your Yahoo email password, there are three basic methods for you to regain access to your Yahoo email account:
- Reset your Yahoo email password online
- Recover your Yahoo email password from your web browser
- Recover your stored Yahoo email password from the Windows Registry
Reset your Yahoo Email Password
The easiest way to recover a Yahoo email 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 Email ID and Yahoo will email your Yahoo password to the e-mail account associated with it.
If you can not remember your Yahoo ID, enter the email address you used when you signed up for your Yahoo email account and Yahoo will send your Yahoo ID to that email account.
If you no longer have access to the other email account associated with your Yahoo ID, Yahoo will refuse to assist you.
Recover your Yahoo Email Password from your Web Browser
Most Yahoo users allow their web browsers to store their Yahoo password. Every different web browser stores the Yahoo password in a different manner.
The method for recovering these stored passwords is different for each web browser.
