How do I recover my password on Yahoo?

Hello, I've read your comments on recovering passwords or accounts like on Yahoo. I started investigating this when I suddenly found my own password was not working and the secret question had been changed by whoever hijacked the account. Do you have any advice for me aside from creating a new ID? I hate to say it but I'm considering trying to hijack it back.


Dave's Answer:

I understand what you're talking about and know that if you have the bad luck to have an easily guessed password and someone backs into your account, you definitely have a problem.

Indeed, while I also have a Yahoo account, I spend much more time using Gmail as it's one of my main web-based email system.

What's amazing is that once every few weeks I get a "how to reset your password" message, suggesting that I've tried to log in and clicked the 'forgot my password' link, but, of course, I haven't. It's someone else messing around trying to sneak into my account.

But the flip side of this is one that I've written about before too: how do I know if you're really who you say you are and how would Yahoo, more importantly, know that you're who say you are? (see Recover my Yahoo account password?) After all, one of the most effective methods of breaking security is through social engineering, pretending you're someone other than who you are.

I wonder if it isn't just a fundamental problem with web-based systems that can't use anything smart like biometrics for identity verification?

I have a biometric fingerprint scanner on the Lenovo IBM X41 Tablet PC I've been evaluating over on my Intuitive Life Blog, but that still doesn't address how I can verify my identity with a remote system.

Think about it: even if the fingerprint scanner sent the scan data to a remote server, there's nothing to stop that data being intercepted and then duplicated, emulating the live scan of my finger when in fact it's someone masquerading as me.

A difficult problem, unquestionably, and until we do have some good solutions in this area, I can only strongly encourage everyone to have the toughest, best possible passwords possible.

I was hacked sunday-whoever it was got my yahoo password and changed it-my computer was rebooted remotely-I believe it was the same person because there was no power outage and I leave the machine on.
Anyway I contacted Yahoo account security because I also do not remember the last zip code I used...They say they will get back to me within 48 hours-I hope this is true as I also hope to get back into yahoo since I did not archive anything. bummer.

Hi Dave,
I have lost my password to the fake URL trick. I gave a fake DOB at the time of account registration. I remember the rest of the information. Can you be of any help. Please I am in deep anguish coz there is lot of personal info at stake there.
Sincerely,
Satya Prakash

Hi Dave,
I have lost my password to the fake URL trick. I gave fake address, so I don't remember the zip code, I have rest of the information best of my knowledge. I have been using this account for three years and never changed my password.

hello i have lost all hope in getting my password back!!! i have called and been locked out of my account for awhile now! if someone could please help me get my password back to darealbrt2002@yahoo.com
thank you

Hey- my account was hacked 3 months ago too. I have written to Yahoo almost 10 times and all I am getting are automated responses. How do I get through to them? I've had that account for over 10 years- and I am not sure exactly what I have written when I signed up.

The most hurtful part is that my husband and I actually saw "me" signed in one night on his yahoo messenger, but of course the person won't respond. Also, somewhat I think that its someone who is into internet porn-> not good for my reputation at all!

I am lost- All I need are the addresses from my address book and the profile for that account changed from my personal information.

My yahoo id was hotttlove@yahoo.com, even though it does not fit my personality-> I was young and still in high school then.

Any help would be appreciated!

Posted by: Donna at August 30, 2006 9:33 AM

Hi, I had a similar problem. I was tricked by the fake URL and got my yahoo ID hijacked. My 2 mails to the help desk got automated replies and was of no help as the personal details had been changed by the hacker.
As a final resort I called Yahoo Inc at 001-408-349-1572. The Number has since changed to 001-866-562-7219. the computerised reply asks you to click 1 for accounts 2 for information. Click 2
then again a list of selections will be asked.,select 'password'. later you will be put on a real customer service person.
He will ask you - date of birth, approx date when the account was hacked, approx what was the last mail you accessed or some idea about some mails that you accessed last like sender's name etc., and then the secret question.
If you are able to answer these things you will be asked to name the alternate email ID which you have mentioned in your yahoo account or the alternate email ID to which they will send the new password.
My yahoo account was hacked on 14th Aug. and I got it back intact on 01st sep.
Please try it as I have mentioned above and I am sure you would get your yahoo account back. good luck.

Do mail me and let me know if you succeed in your endeavour.

Posted by: Donna at January 3, 2007 8:45 AM

Sorry that you believe I haven't been helpful, Donna, but there's literally nothing I can do to help you other than suggest that you contact Yahoo itself and ask for assistance. I can't crack or hack your account, I can't guess your new password, and I don't have any special inroads to the Yahoo administration team. And, frankly, if I did, they would have a hard time helping you too, for the explicit reason that they have a very difficult time knowing that you're who you say you are...

Hi dave,
somebody hacked my yahoo a/c too (sandeepsindol@yahoo.com)
i called yahoo, followed the steps and reached the customer support.
questions asked,
dob, zipcode, and secret answer,
i dont know the secret answer so they cannot reset my password, but i have provided the rest of the information correct.

i got email yesterday on my alternate email saying that my password changed. it also records the ipaddress which is in email. (41.204.45.90 )

is there anyother way i can get my a/c back as i dont remember the answer to my secret question.

i have seen many ppl have given their comments in this and also found many victims who lost their yahoo a/c.

help required from anyone of you who have recovered their a/c after being hacked.

thanks in advance.

I am in the same boat as alot here. My Yahoo email account was hijacked March 10 along with my ebay account. I had no problem with Ebay but Yahoo is absolutely the most useless company I have ever seen. Whomever hijacked my email account changed not only the password but also the answer to the secret question. I tried explaining to Yahoo that I use that security question "What's your Mothers maiden name" all the time and know the answer like the back of my hand. When I tell Yahoo that someone changed the answer they say it is impossible. They have been of no help even though I have offered to do anything they want me to so that they can verify me. I contacted the California AG's office and BBB but Yahoo gives them the same response they give me. I am not giving up. I am gonna keep pestering them till they get their heads out of their as**s

Hello Dave,

I have a problem with my yahoo account. I used to have an account tranvinhdu_2000@yahoo.com and used it for almost 5 years. I changed my password quite often as a security measure. However, in November 2005, I changed the password but something happened and I can never log in my account again since then. I contacted yahoo but they refused to help. I had to abandon it and use a new one (dutran_ut@yahoo.com) which is a paid account.

Since the incident, I lost many old friends and I still really love to have their contacts back. I would appreciate your help if you could please recover the password for me. As long as you logged in the account with the recovered password, you will see what I am saying here is honest.

Thank you in advance.

Du Tran.

Posted by: Mayank garg at August 22, 2007 8:02 AM

Mayank, I can only say the same thing I've been saying here for quite a long time: since there's no way to confirm that you are who you say you are, it's impossible for companies like Yahoo to restore account access via email or telephone. If they can't do it, third parties can't do it either. Though they can certainly ask you for your information and try to scam you...

Posted by: Dave Taylor at August 22, 2007 4:08 PM

dear dave !
Please rescue my password as it changed by someone.
Siva Prasad

Posted by: maganti venkata siva prasad at August 23, 2007 5:03 AM

hey Dave thanks a lot 4 replyin....
i certainly agree with you that without my information no1 can help me....
i wrote that comment thinking that u mite b knowing a way to get my id back.... and then you can always ask me personal details regarding my account which i am sure no one knows other than me... information like :
1: personal folders
2: contacts list people
3:mailing lists/friends/forums from whom I regularly receive mails
dont u think this information is enough to prove the authenticity..
anyway, obviously i cant coerce you into doing anythng... :( m really DOOMED......

Posted by: Mayank garg at August 24, 2007 12:03 PM

forgot my password and the secret info what can i do? please help?!

Posted by: mark at September 2, 2007 1:01 PM

OK, I'm losing it here! I've called customer support a dozen times I've tried so many variations of my secret answer that I can't even count them. I have all my info correct, but they keep saying mt secret answer is incorrect. I changed my password one evening recently. It worked when I went to bed. In the morning I got up and my home page MSN was completely different! The page looked NOTHING like it usually does. When I typed in the correct url www.msn.com it went to the real page. When I tried to get into my yahoo email account my new password wouldn't work.

I knew all my info including my secret question and answer, but it says it's incorrect! I've given them a ton of info. (Nothing that could help them do me harm, but details concerning my secret answer that would prove that if it's just a matter of it being case sensitive (which they are) or if it was one word, or two or three words that describe the same circumstances) it would be obvious it was the correct answer.

They still won't let me in.

I've had that email for a LONG time. I have product registrations, email addresses, purchase info in there in folders, receipts for purchases...all kinds of stuff I NEED!

Can you help!? PLEASE!!!!????

Posted by: nishita rai at November 5, 2007 5:29 AM

Hi Dave-

I found a way around the problem of the Yahoo password. Many of these people have it stored and retrieval is easy. If they use Firefox there is a tools button on the top of the bar. Then press Options, then passwords tab. It is easy from there and it will tell how to show all stored passwords on the screen.

Thanks! Great site!

Hello Dave, I'm hoping you can help me out please....I have an old (probably about 9 yrs old now) Yahoo account that I need to get back into to fetch an E-mail address....my problem like practically everyone else here is that I cannot remember my password. the account (sparky1eire) could be inactive at this stage as I havn't used it for quite awhile now. I can only partly remember the password but I can't remember the D.O.B. I used to create the account....I tend to just click on whatever when creating accounts (lesson learned on that too)and it's been awhile as you can imagine. thanks for anything you can do!

Posted by: Mark at August 15, 2008 6:35 AM

I was hacked sunday-whoever it was got my yahoo password and changed it-my computer was rebooted remotely-I believe it was the same person because there was no power outage and I leave the machine on.
Anyway I contacted Yahoo account security because I also do not remember the last zip code I used...They say they will get back to me within 48 hours-I hope this is true as I also hope to get back into yahoo since I did not archive anything. bummer.
please tell me the solution.... it's my buisness e-mail id....

First of all, Is there a fee for this service?

Secondly, i didn't lostmy password. I've been trying for 2-days on enter the PCH Drawing, and for some reason, it won't accept my password. I've even changed the password, and notified PCH to let them know that i was unable to get in even when they gave me a different password. It still does not work. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much!

Betty

Posted by: betty darden at September 4, 2008 2:48 PM

dear all,

dont fid your answer here find it at any hacking site. if you wana recover password you must seek it at any hacking website. here we are wasting our time, have anyone receive respo from dave?

Posted by: maq at September 10, 2008 2:26 AM

No-one has received a response from me, Maq, because I am not able - or willing - to recover your lost password for you. That's the point of my original article, is that the people who claim to be able to do that are almost always just scammers trying to "social engineer" your existing password or other account information from you.

Think about it. If they don't have access to Yahoo's internal password database (which is undoubtedly encrypted anyway) and if they can't infect and capture the new password off the person who stole it from you (if that's what happened), the only other way they could find your new / changed / stolen password is through what's called a brute-force attack, trying every word and every variation of word, numbers, reversed words, two or three word combinations, proper nouns, dates, etc and get lucky.

Don't you think Yahoo would notice a site slamming it with tens of thousands of failed login attempts on a single account?

Right. That's why these so-called hackers can't help you recover your password either, though they're happy to take your $99 or $300 or whatever.

There are avenues you can try with Yahoo, but if you can't prove without question that it's legitimately your account and that you have legal rights and access, then you might well just be out of luck.

Sorry to put it so bluntly, but I'm constantly amazed that I have a blog entry that says "until we do have some good solutions in this area, I can only strongly encourage everyone to have the toughest, best possible passwords possible" and yet I still get requests daily to help recover passwords, often with the most extraordinary backstories.

Maybe that's too vague. I really wish I COULD help out those of you with legitimate requests to recover your account access after having your credentials hijacked through a keystroke logger, virus or phishing attempt. But I cannot.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at September 10, 2008 7:03 AM

Sir,

Thanks a lot on replying. but everybody is here with same problem. It doesnt mean all who is here are are genuine may be some are here to steal othes password, but I am here to get solution. If there isnt any solution is it possible for you to forget 10 years old mail address. Most of my data is in that account. So please comment how can I? plzzzzzzz. i am ready to pay also.

:)Maybe I'm just stupid in believing that you would - even if U could - help me. But is - or not - worth a try. So ... ~10 years ago I made my first yahoo account : "in66". I don't know why but I never could get over the fact that I forgot the password. I tried, I think every possible method. Fortunately the phishers (U know: send your username and password....)got shot down before I got to them. Now if U would help me with this (my new accounts in66_87, mentat_catalin66 rotariu.catalin@gmail.com, should but will not satisfy you). If U don't trust me, at least delete the account so I can remake it. I tried to send an e-mail (the address does not exist anymore because was deactivated after 10 years of inutility) and I tried to send an message through messenger, thinking that maybe I didn't forgot the password and someone stole it. I.D.K. Try to send a mess and wait for a reply for some time. But if U could help me with this I would be very happy (it was my first account)

Hi Mr Taylor,
I have a dll system file relocation error of "illegal system dll relocation the system dll user32.dll was relocated in memory. teh application will not run properly. the location occured because the DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32.SHELL32.dll occupied an address range reserved for windows system DLLs. the vendor supplying the dll should be contacted for a new DLL."

Because of this I am unable to install several important softwares what can i do to remove this error. i hv got bored by this problem.

Also, somewhat I think that its someone who is into internet porn-> not good for my reputation at all!

I am lost- All I need are the addresses from my address book and the profile for that account changed from my personal information.

My yahoo id was sailunpec@yahoo.co.in,

Posted by: venkatesh at May 25, 2009 4:26 AM

It's clear by most of your descriptions of what happened that you basically ASKED to be hacked.

For those of you who didn't pay attention to entering your info, what were you thinking?

For those of you who foolishly posted personal information on this, a website that is frequented by hacked people and hackers alike, you deserve what you got and will get.

For those of you who simply didn't read the article and posted demands IN CAPITAL LETTER HOLLERING for Dave to help you, well, I imagine you don't read *any* instructions and will end up in situations like this over and over until you learn to pay attention.

There IS a solution but you will have to WORK for it. Dave nor anyone else can do it for you, and even if they COULD, they would be a fool to try. If you don't understand this, there's no sense in trying to explain it anyway. Just follow the instructions below.

1) if you didn't pay attention to your account info when you signed up, forget about it. You don't deserve your account. If you are using it for business and you didn't note the details and save them, you shouldn't be in business.

Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

2) If you have most of your information you can call Yahoo customer service at the numbers noted by Dave and a commenter. You will have to be able to answer most of the basic info and be able to identify items in your mailbox.

That's your only chance. If the Yahoo rep says you have not provided the burden of proof required then you're up the creek.

You've all learned a valuable, and probably expensive, lesson in internet security. Here are a few guidelines to protect yourself in the future -

a) use an obscure username. Your real name is too easy. The username is half of the equation, if they don't know that then the password won't be of use to them.

b) as Dave said use a POWERFUL password. Something like
B4tt_02&!gg
which will take years to hack. Note the use of 10+ characters, at least one capital letter, at least one number, and at least one non-alphanumeric character. Your daughters birthday is too easy to hack. Your bedroom pet name is probably not as unique as you think it is. Use a bizarre password as above.

c) start yourself a card catalog that you can keep secure. Make a 3x5 card for each of your accounts and include all the details you used to identify yourself for the account. I keep mine in a small safe. If you can't keep basic information secure, then you shouldn't have accounts that are secure.

d) REVIEW YOUR INFORMATION PERIODICALLY. I can't stress this enough. Things happen. Sometimes hackers don't lock you out right away. They are looking for personal information they can use to steal from you or your contacts. Sometimes they change things like the secret question so that when they do decide to change your password, it's quick and you're done.

Leo Notenboom of ask-leo.com had this well put comment on his site in an article about the same issue -
(http://ask-leo.com/ive_lost_my_hotmail_password_can_you_help_get_it_back.html)

"Don't use free email accounts for anything important. It's not worth it. If your free email account and all the information in it went away tomorrow, would that be a problem for you? If so ... move now." As Leo said, you get what you pay for.

Sorry for my negativity, but the ignorance displayed in these comments really got to me.

Tracy!

Posted by: Tracy! at May 28, 2009 5:20 PM

hi dave,

i have been reading comments from different users asking for their passwords back.

I dont think you can give their passwords back. Is that possible?

As the password cannot be give back by you, why dont you please write on your blog that you cannot give others passwords.

It will save lot of questions by users and the readers like me a lot of effort

My Yahoo account was hacked and I can not access my email. I opened it while in middle school (or before-more than 10 yrs ago) and don't remember the answer to my secret question. Yahoo's customer service demands this.
I suggested them to:
-trying asking me specific questions about any of the 100s of emails in the account-as only the owner will be familiar with details
OR
-ask other people (that I normally contact through email) to verify that I'm the owner to the account.
However, I keep getting automated responses (both by email and phone).
I really need to access the information of the email (which is only valuable to me).I appreciate your help and will retribute if results are accomplished.
JK

hi guys..
please tell me how can i recovery my yahoo passport..please send me information at this mail., gstar_mn@yahoo,com

Posted by: gereltod at August 26, 2009 1:49 PM

so basically your saying that i can know my zip, alternate email address and bday but if i dont remember my security question answer...that, that is it say good bye to my email and all my personal things i have on it...theres no way to recover it? I understand the whole part about not knowing who i really am but you have no help AT ALL? just lay it strait with me. No security answer=no email ever?

Posted by: sunshine at September 8, 2009 9:05 PM

Sorry to say, but, yeah, that's probably accurate, Sunshine. Companies can scale password recovery when they have hundreds of users, or even thousands, but millions? It's too much...

Posted by: Dave Taylor at September 8, 2009 10:16 PM

Hi all,

Slightly different problem.. I have a live account - it has NOT been hacked. I use Yahoo IM all the time - no issues as i log in automatically and have done since the start.

I use the latest IM 9.0.0.2162 which i understands does not store the PW locally [does that make sense]

Anyway - i dont know the password as i have not used/needed it in about 18 months but need to run Yahoo Messenger on my Blackberry so need the password.

Of course the details for recovery DOB / country / postcode email address could be anything.. as the details I think should be ok - fail. the alternative email address i used has long since retired so also not an option.

All PW recovery tools i have tried.. fail to retrieve password.

There must be a way..?

Thx

Hi Dave !

I forgot my yahoo password. It has lots of my friends addresses as well as lots of nice pictures. I got this account almost about 10 year ago since then I have changed few times my password. But I never changed the other information such as alternative email address. I know the alternative email address what I put it in the yahoo account but the problem is that email address is no longer valid nor exist. So how could I get my password back. Please provide me some information !

Thankx !

Babu !
