Retrieve your Yahoo password with trick, secret email?

I dunno if this is legit or not, but I recently bumped into a note from someone claiming that there's a secret email address at Yahoo.com that lets you sneak into a backdoor and recover any account password for any account on Yahoo. The address was "[[ omitted ]] @yahoo.com" and it sounds too good to be true. Is it?


Dave's Answer:

Oh yeah, it's far too good to be true and is actually a smart, sneaky social engineering hack where what they actually are going to obtain is your account and your password, which they'll promptly change.

Here's a typical message from one of these phishers:

"I got my Yahoo Id hacked and I am not able to use it anymore. I called up yahoo customer care and they r asking me the answer to my secret question which I dont remember now as it was 5 or 6 years ago. I tried one of the tricks on my account just for fun.."

Seems legit, doesn't it? I've also seen these from Gmail and Hotmail too, by the way, so just about any service with a password and lots of potentially naive, trusting users can be a target for these sneaky tricks.

Here are the steps recommended by the phisher:

  1. Log in to your own yahoo account. Note: Your account must be at least 30 days old for this to work.
  2. Once you have logged into your own account, compose an e-mail to: [[ omitted ]]@yahoo.com
    This is a mailing address to the Yahoo Staff. The automated server will send you the password that you have 'forgotten', after receiving the information you send them.
  3. In the subject line type exactly: password retrieve.
  4. On the first line of your mail write the email address of the person you want to hacking.
  5. On the second line type in the e-mail address you are using.
  6. On the third line type in the password to YOUR email address (your OWN password). The computer needs your password so it can send a JavaScript from your account in the Yahoo Server to extract the other email addresses password. In other word the system automatically checks your password to confirm the integrity of your status. Remember you are sending your password to a machine not a man. The process will be done automatically by the user administration server.
There are sometimes additional steps requested, but that's the gist of the message, and as you can see, it really boils down to send us your account name and password which is clearly not a good idea!

Let me be clear in case you're still unsure what I'm saying here: this is a scam, there are no secret email addresses at any of these services that can recover your password, and you should never, ever email your account password to anyone, even if they assure you that they are a part of the corporation!

Follow up note: Some people have told me that they saw this article, skimmed it, saw the email address shown above, and followed the procedures without actually reading that it's a scam. Please do not do that!! The reason I show a real address is so if people Google that address they'll find this article that warns them about the scam, not because I am at all involved in this nefarious social engineering scheme.

Please help me for my yahoo password

Posted by: Amrita at April 16, 2007 2:43 AM

All those services for instant retrieval passwords are scams.The only actual way to get a password is done by 2 things:
Password crackers ( brute force method)
Social Engeneering (sending out fake login pages)

Dave,
Do the spyware like Pandora and Cheater Checker work -- and what are the risks to my own computer if I download one of their programs?

Posted by: Marisa at May 7, 2007 9:29 AM

ok if u really want to see if it works make up a new yahoo id, send them the the NEW ONE and make sure ya don't use the same password on the one you wish to keep.. you will see it is 100% scam. next issue.. u want ppl's passwords.. i caught my cheatin wife with a keystroke logger.. downloaded it for free off a torrent site. installed it and sat back.. oh find one that e mails you the updates then you don't have to look @ the computer you set it up on.. do it from work or where ever.. now watch out some anti viri detect the pop feature and then they will know.. i'm not goinna tell you the program that works best.. google is your best buddy.. oh yea.. one more thing for newbies.. on e mail accounts.. it don't hurt to have a few.. mainly a dump one for things like this so ya don't get spam..

Posted by: mike litt at May 18, 2007 1:18 AM

ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY!THEY ARE STEALING YOUR OWN PASSWORDS!!!!CORRECTION,YOU ARE GIVING AWAY YOUR OWN PASSWORD!!THIS IS THE BIGGEST SPAM EVER!! YOU REALLY THINK IT'S SO SIMPLE TO HACK ACCOUNT!!??

Yahoo only provide recover password through forget password session on yahoo site.

My yahoo ID password is not working for so many months. I asked the Customer care for a new pwd, they are asking me to give Pet name, Date of Birth, Zip Code. My yahoo ID got created more than 10 years ago by my old friend. He is no more in contact with me. I don't know what he gave to all the items said above. Please suggest me how i can get a new password to login again. I have good valuable information in my yahoo ID.

Posted by: zanthor at April 21, 2008 5:33 PM

Zanthor, if you would spend the time to read what I wrote in the original article, you'd realize that I am not interested in anyone's account, I am instead explaining that this is a SCAM and that there's no way for anyone to extract a password from the Yahoo system. If you send your information (this means you, Bob Money) then you'll simply find that you're shut out of your own account. Don't do it.

It says that Dave posted this article to INFORM and WARN us into giving our Personal INFORMATION to PHISHERS! Please, Read and understand. not bursting into rage accusing the man of doing wrong! Thank you Dave.

Posted by: j at February 21, 2009 12:35 PM

lol a lot of people don't know how to read.... This guy isn't telling you how to get into someones mail account he's telling you that if anyone tells you to do this, it's a scam. Think about it.. I can create a yahoo account and put my name as retrieve_password@yahoo.com and tell people to send the email of the person they want to request the password and to include your email and password as well. You thinking that your sending it to yahoo (that should have your password anyways) and being so desperate into thinking its going to work are just sending me your login. I don't know about you, but I use my email account for a lot of things. Another thing why would someone ask you to include your password if your sending it from your email. You need your password to login to your email.

Posted by: chuck at March 15, 2009 8:22 AM

I actually READ things like this. Dave says DON'T do it. What does the majority do? Exactly, try it anyway. Don't get upset because he warned you and you went ahead and had to try it. Why do you think passwords exist? I have no words for you morons...*sits back and shakes head*

Dave,

I can change the pasword of my cheating gf because i know the answers in the secret questions of yahoo "i forgot pasword system". But i dont want to change her pasword so that she will continue communicating with her new man and i dont want her to know that i have her pasword. If i will change her pasword, then she cant log-in anymore and most likely will have an idea that i did some tricks on her email add. Is there any trick i could reset the changed pasword into the original one? or is there any possiblity of knowing the original pasword after i changed it?

how to find password of yahoo

Posted by: yogesh at March 31, 2010 11:16 PM

Hi Dave Taylor!

When I clicked on your webbsite and saw your name in print a strange feeling overcame me. I new a wonderful funny guy who worked for the usps who has passed on. It felt like he'd been resurrected. OK. There is nothing more frustrating than being frustrated. I'm the computer administrator but the mail account is under my wife's name. I had a outlook express sending problem and was told to reinstall it which I did. Now, to set up outlook I have to reinstall the information and get to the part where it needs the ISP name and password. My wife has no recollection on how to access her account. When I mentioned security codes such as your favorite sports or daughters nick she insist
she never saw anything like that. You have to understand that I'm 67 and she 66 and our rec'is not what it used to be. I give up on her account. I have the option of dropping the computer in a distant volcano, or drop it from a five mile hight
on to a tarmac. Thing is I'd have to buy a new computer. Can she do away with her account, like kill it or delete it and make a new account, or do I get my own account, and if so how to go about it. The closest I can Come to being a GURU
is to wear a Turbin. I really need your advice Dave! I Thank you big time!

Posted by: dilraj at May 24, 2010 6:13 AM

ugh. so many stupid people are leaving their own emails and passwords on here. if your that stupid then your obviously going to get hacked. dave already said this is a scam! and still people are stating that the technique dosen't work DUHH. ITS A SCAM! if you don't remember your passwords you might want to think about the passwords your making? maybe write them down? maybe have one password for all acounts? either way.. if your dumb enough to try this technique, you probably deserved to get hacked :]

Posted by: leona at May 27, 2010 5:55 PM

Okay, first of all, it is NOT easy to hack a person's email account. you have to go through all those codes and copying and pasting and all that junk. ANYWAY, someone help me. MY PROBLEM IS FAR MORE WORSE THAN ANY OF YOU ON HERE!!

So..SOMEONE HACKED MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT, AND MY YAHOO! EMAIL ACCOUNT!! FACEBOOK SENT ME A CONFIRMATION CODE TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS, BUT GUESS WHAT? I CAN'T VERIFY IT CAUSE I CAN'T ACCESS MY EMAIL ACCOUNT ANYMORE!!! NEITHER CAN I VERIFY MY STUPID SECURITY QUESTION. I MEAN DOES YAHOO! REALLY WANT ME TO VERIFY AN ANSWER THAT I MADE 3 YEARS AGO?!!!

dude, the email address that you have to use to send it to doesnt work, wow.

Posted by: zach bremer at September 27, 2011 1:25 PM

zach, dude, the point of this article is that you SHOULDN'T TRUST any of these sort of email messages that claim they can recover your account access or recover your password. No-one at Yahoo is going to be answering email queries with account credentials, and if it's not them, how is some third party going to gain access to the account database inside the corporate data center?

I stumbled upon this site while trying to figure out how someone in Portugal sent email from my yahoo account via yahoo mobile without knowing my password. After reading all the responses to Dave's warnings not to fall for stupid password scams I have a response for everyone looking to crack a yahoo password - the email address listed is wrong - you should send your username and password to "IamTooStupid@EveryLevelOfExistence.com" and I'm SURE you'll get what you need.
