      Hello Daeshana Winsley,
      Yahoo mail passwords can be reset with different methods. If you no longer have access to recovery phone number, you can reset Yahoo Mail password using recovery email or security question.
      To reset password using security code

        Visit Yahoo mail home page
        Enter your Yahoo email address and click ‘Next’
        Click ‘Forgot password’
        Enter your recovery email address and click ‘Continue’ (as you do not have access to recovery phone number)
        Yahoo will ask you to enter capthca, enter the captcha given and click ‘Submit’
        Click ‘Yes, Send me the account key’
        You’ll receive Yahoo account key in your alternative email address, copy that account key and paste in Yahoo verification box and click ‘Verify’
        You’ll be signed in with your account. If you have set security question answer in your Yahoo account, you can reset password using security question, answer as well.

      We recommend you to check whether your recovery information is up to date or not. If you’ve to change the mobile number, change it to your account as well.

      Hello Ashley
      Try your old phone numbers. If you have set alternative email address for Yahoo account recovery then you can reset password using that email. But if you don’t have recovery number or email address then it’s very hard to reset Yahoo password. Yahoo doesn’t provide call or chat support. Gmail and Outlook/Hotmail provide option to recover account even without mail or number but Yahoo just neglect users.

    Hi,
    I know my alternate email and it keeps saying that its sending the access code to my alternate but I keep refreshing and its not there. It isnt in spam either. I have no access to the phone number so the email is the only option but its not working and I dont know why.

    I too have tried without any luck to recover my e mail accounts with Yahoo with no success because all my associated mobile number is no longer active and is of another country, and all other alternative email accounts are closed as the providers have closed down. One of them is active but somehow input within the yahoo settings with a typo. Is there any way I can access my account? I’ve been trying to access customer support as well for a year but no progress. Please help.

      Hello Atanu Bhuyan
      I’m sorry to inform you but if you’ve lost all your alternative email address and phone numbers then it’s really really hard to recover your Yahoo Mail account. Have you set security question answer and do you still remember them? If not we suggest you to reset your recovery email address first.

      Hello Mary Flanagan
      Yahoo Mail now removed the option to reset password via security question. So we suggest you to recover your alternative email first and then recovery Yahoo account. Please visit our Gmail account recovery or Hotmail account recovery page to see how to recover your hacked account.
