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.

Mayank garg said, on August 22, 2007 8:02 AM:

i posted a comment here few hrs back... whr is it nw ? :(.. it got hacked too ??? this is nt done.. r u dere Mr. Dave.... :((

Dave Taylor said, on August 22, 2007 4:08 PM:

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...

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

Mayank garg said, on August 24, 2007 12:03 PM:

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......

Cassandra Ray said, on September 3, 2007 8:32 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!!!!????

AtoZ said, on November 14, 2007 6:14 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!

Quentin R said, on November 16, 2007 7:59 PM:

it is lrafis@yahoo.com

phoned yahoo in USA even though I am in UK and got nowhere. None of the answers to my question were correct, even though it could only have been a limited number of answers. i think someone has changed my security password although yahoo say this is impossible

Hi will you be able to help? I’m not sure if my email was hacked but i am quite certain of my password and the message pops out that log in name and password does not match!!! I have a lot of contacts and correspondences in that account and just recently moved to a new country so I really hope to access them. My account is zerlchan@yahoo.com.
