What's my Yahoo account password?Dear Dave, I wrote to Yahoo previously asking about my mail I believe had been hacked because my password is suddenly rejected. I am so disappointed no help has been given. What can I do to ask for a new password and retrieve my mail when I can't remember the zip code I entered previously? It is such a disgrace if Yahoo! does not provide alternatives to handle such cases. Pleeeeeeeeeeease HELP? These are always interesting requests for help to receive, actually. On the one hand, it's true that prompting for a zipcode as a key to retrieve a password is very ethnocentric since most other countries in the world have either something only vaguely similar (postal codes, but they can contain letters and numbers) or have nothing that serves a similar purpose. On the other hand, Yahoo! lets you chose from about 30 different countries, including China, Japan, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Thailand and Vietnam. Further, you can actually set any of about a dozen different reminder questions if you don't have a zip code, as shown here:  If you have an account, it's your responsibility to set it up so that you can recover and restore any settings or similar. But there's a bigger issue here. The issue is how does Yahoo! know that you have legitimate claim to this account? If you were someone who was trying to break into an account, a "hacker" as you suggest, then you wouldn't know the zipcode for the password reminder and you wouldn't know the password. In fact, I don't like to help people recover their passwords when they don't know the answers to their recovery questions, the situation you describe here, because I also have no way of differentiating between someone in a frustrating and unfortunate situation and someone who is trying to game the system, trying to con me (or Yahoo!) into releasing access to a personal account. So the final answer I'll offer is that if you really want to have a Yahoo Mail account, then make sure that you promptly modify your account settings so that you have a reminder question that you're 100% sure you'll remember.

I, unlike this person, know my zip code and all other information besides the answer to my recovery question. I requested a new password sent to my alternate email, but it does not come. As a test, I also requested the ID to be sent to me (which I obviously remember) at my alternate email. This came. So why wont the new pass come? I have written to yahoo but they are unhelpful. I have a computer that I am still logged on to yahoo on, but it requests for my password to actually do anything and I am helpless. What should I do? Posted by: Tom at November 17, 2005 9:30 PMDave: Used yahoo email for many years, saved many important emails. One day went to my email and said id or password invalid. I did not change id's nor password. I believe it was hacked. Because I don't remember my answers to my personal profile they can't tell me what happened to my email. What can I do just to retrieve the info. stored there and my address list.? Thanks, JoAnna Posted by: JoAnna at January 19, 2006 6:59 PMDave...this is the worst advice i've ever seen. Listen, my yahoo account was hijacked, and the personal information was changed so i could NOT access the account password reset. After many many months, yahoo finally reset it for me. This involved me faxing proof of who i was, address, etc. Then 2 mos. later, it's hijacked again (with a new, more difficult password). Your reflections on this subject are inadequate. Stick to what you know. :) Kinda harsh words there, Scott. If you think there are dramatically better ways to protect yourself from hijacked accounts, perhaps you can share it with us all? Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 11, 2006 10:51 PMI also had my Yahoo hacked. Someone actually added a line into a mail I sent, which means he/she was able to operate within the mail at the same time I was. Now, I've changed my password, logged out, logged in, changed it again, etc. But still fear nags. Some very personal mails there, potentially very hurtful for me and loved ones. Can I be at ease? Posted by: Rene van der Hoofd at February 25, 2006 11:48 PMI tried for a couple days to recover my account through the automated password recovery tool, but it would not accept my personal information. I finally found a number for Yahoo Customer Care - 408-349-1572 and called them. In about 10 minutes after verifying my user name, real name, date of birth, and zip code, they were able to issue me a new password directly on the phone. However, when I did log back in I had recieved a password change verification in my email from previously. I don't know how or why someone would want to hack a freemail account but it is a royal pain when you face losing your contact lists, and stored messages as well as an ID you have been using for 10+ years to send and recieve mail. Posted by: Shannon at February 27, 2006 12:29 PMHello, I had a similar problem, when my colleague (who knew my password) changed my secret question / password.. I had my important data in it, and wandered about calling Yahoo just about everyday. They just wont listen....Then i went to this hackers site.. called HireHackers (cannot give you the link for obvious reasons) .. Dont know how they did it, but a few hrs later, they sent me a screenshot of my Inbox..I subsequently paid them their charges..and got my password back.. !! Ironical...I had to spend..$200..to get the password of my OWN FREE EMAIL ACCOUNT .. :-( Posted by: Sam Martinez at March 28, 2006 4:43 PMHi, Thanks in advance.

Few days ago I also had the same problem. somebody changed the password of my mail which I was using from last 8 years.

Posted by: Vikas at July 4, 2006 3:02 AMHi Dave, I am posting this with very high hopes. 2 days back when i logged into my yahoo account, suddenly i found that i am unable to login in using my original password. I tried to recover it but no use. I remember my personal info but i dont remember the hint answer. Also, the alternate e-mail for my yahoo id was a rediff id which also had the same password and i am unable to login into that rediff id also now. BOTH MY IDS ARE INACCESSIBLE. i tried hard but it's just no use. I don't know whether you wud help me or not but all i can do is to request u and i myself also wud try out all the possible ways to recover password for my own id. PLEASE HELP ME.... :( Thanks and Regards, Hi Dave, Yahoo Finance frequently develops bugs. How do I bring them to Yahoo's attention? Sometimes they persist for weeks. Please don't suggest a phone number; Yahoo's phone menu is designed to discourage callers. Thanks. MK Posted by: Mike Kaufman at July 7, 2006 2:04 PMHi Dave , Like others i also clicked the geocities link and my yahoo id password is changed . My Yahoo id is vinod_r80 . please help me dave to recover the password and when i type in the alternate email address it doesnt send me the password to that address also . Please help Posted by: Vini at July 12, 2006 4:46 AMHi everybody! Somebody hacked my yahoo mail account. They have changed my password and my personal information, so I cannot get my password back. What can I do? Dave, please help! I don't want to hack somebody's address. I only want the information from my account. The emails have a sentimental value for me. Posted by: dada at July 12, 2006 3:40 PMi would really appreciate it if i can get my password for the screename that i had. thank u. Posted by: Angelica Pedroza at July 15, 2006 5:08 PMhi dave i have been using this yahoo id called pammyvogue@yahoo.com and my account has been hacked but i dont understand how has this person got my password and he also knows everything about me...he has all my personal info..please solve my problem Posted by: pramitha at July 17, 2006 5:42 AMI tried to reset my own Yahoo password on purpose, but never received the new password, despite trying several times and checking all of my other e-mail addresses for the password message. I finally requested my Yahoo ID from them (which I already knew) so I could verify whether I had listed the alternate address I thought I had, and sure enough, it said the address I listed was on file, and that message came through right away, so I've definitely been checking the right e-mail address, to no avail (and I turned all spam blocking off, too, just in case the new password message was getting blocked). It does not matter if I remembered my secret answer because they don't give me a secret question to answer. When I tried to contact customer support, the automated message they sent back asking for more information said I had to give them the question AND the answer!! What's up with that?! I have had this account for 8 or 10 years. I certainly don't know what secret question I chose, if I ever did choose one, but if they asked me the question I am certain I would know the answer! At any rate, I sent all my information to them via their customer service form (which they make pretty hard to find) 3 days ago. They just sent an automated response, telling me that if I still couldn't solve the problem myself I could forward them some more information. Sigh. So I did that, and it's been about 36 hours with no reply so far. From what I'm reading online, this may take days of phone calls to fix, if it can be fixed at all, and it makes no sense. It's horrible to lose access to an account I've had for this many years, with tons of personal mail saved, an old Geocities website I managed through that account (which will be stuck online as it is forever if this is not resolved), and 12 or 14 Yahoo groups I was/am subscribed to. From my own experience and several of the comments here, it seems to me that Yahoo has a glitch in which new passwords are not being sent to people's alternate e-mail addresses they way they should be. Posted by: Alison at July 18, 2006 8:10 PMMy yahoo account got hacked. email id being milindthakker@yahoo.com. I forgot my answer to the security question too. Please help me. Posted by: Milind at July 22, 2006 8:42 PMDave, I'm using yahoo for the last 6 years. From last week, i'm not able to login as somebody hacked my password. My DOB, zip also seems changed. My id is jayaram_20@yahoo.com. I don't know what to do. I called yahoo people and they are telling that my DOB itself wrong in the database and they can't do anything. Kindly help what should I do now? I've so many important information in my account. Posted by: Jayaram at July 25, 2006 3:10 PMPls help i gave a frnd my yahoo ID and Password to help me check my mail only to find out that he has change my password. pls help me and mail my new mail data2ster@gmail.com Posted by: Emmanuel at July 27, 2006 2:00 AMi cant remember my password and it seems some one has chnged my password and challenge answer question this is a 6-7 yrs old account and i have all my past work related correspondence ...i have wrutten to yahoo to no consequences if a hacker hacks a yahoo account he only needs change the pw and the zipcode ...... so if the owner tries to get his account back he needs to know that current zipcode before he/she even gets to his/her secret question .... so whats the use of a secret question ???? ( if zipcodes can be changed )... u never find the current zipcode that the hacker puts in that account Posted by: just me at August 3, 2006 7:46 AMSir, Kindly mail me on my email provided.. Posted by: Anuj at August 4, 2006 4:04 AMLike others i also clicked the geocities link and my yahoo id password is changed. Can you help me out, I have spoken to Yahoo, however from what i have read it does not seem to be helping. Thanks Posted by: Dave at August 4, 2006 10:05 AMSome one is hacked my password and changed my Hint Question. Can any one please give the Customer support contact number of INDIA? I did the same thing. I clicked on a geocities link and entered my yahoo account details, and screw me, he changed my password and my account has now been locked. I have emailed yahoo thrice but to no response. Also, the hacker has changed the answer to the secret question too. I am sure about the answer to the secret question. Please help at the earliest. Or if you could give the number of the Yahoo Customer Care in India (prefereably Delhi). Posted by: Sandeep Gupta at August 9, 2006 10:41 PMhi nix, Dave, Dave I know all the account informatins of my yahoo account like date of birth , secret answer but someone changed my zip code, when i try to recover password ,when i try to recover passwod zip code is asked. i requested yahoo to send new password to my alternet email adderss but it didn't come.so what should i do to get password now???? please if you have anu suggestion send to: winter98@gmail.com Posted by: Vikram at August 19, 2006 1:59 AMhey dave i have been using my accont for the past like year or more and i have important people on that account and someone hacked my name it wouldnt let me sign in and said i had the wrong password. well on my other email it sent i had changed the password but i didnt, and they changed myinformation, dave PLEASE help me get it back.. talk to me on yahoo if you will please jayhawkbabe2242@yahoo.com and ill tell you the screen name that was hacked. Posted by: Rachel at August 19, 2006 9:31 PMThere is no use of date of bitrh and security answer if someone hacked your yahoo password, because hacker immediately changes your Zip code, password and alternet email address with the help of your password.So, yahoo is making you fool.Zip code should not be changable with the help of password only then all the users who know security answer can get access up to the security question.On the other hand, it is not possible to try all the zip codes and make correct guess.There is no use of alternet email address also when your password is hacked because hackers are not such a fool that they first change password and then alternet email address. They first change alternet email address and then password so that you could not be informed by yahoo that your pasword has been changed.Therefore, yahoo can't help you if someone hacked your password.I suggest you to creat a new yahoo account.

If we rememebered the answers and alternate emails, we wouldn't be coming to you and asking questions. I agree that in some cases people who want to steal IDs would come to you and ask you to get passwords for them. But there could be other things come in considerations, mails in their inbox, their old passwords, contacts in their messenger. Because rest of the information might have been changed the by the one who hacked. Posted by: Usman at August 26, 2006 9:12 AMIm a Victim of a phishing scam the hacker change the account information where I could not ever hope to retreive my account So Dave you are right the hacker knows that yahoo is not going to give out a new password or help a innocent victim of a hacking scam out of fear of someone trying to beat there system. To make this short and sweet if your hack in to your out of luck. I went to MSN and bought there upgraded email service. I advise yahoo account owners to do the same and leave yahoo for the hackers!...Steve Moore Posted by: steve moore at August 30, 2006 6:16 PMDave, I dont give out my information, and even when I knew my information and entered it correctly Yahoo delayed in sending me a password as occured with the other person. So, just because a person gets hacked does not mean that they did not enter their information so that they could keep up with it. Lets face it, when you have had an account as long as I have, sometimes things change in your life. And you might perhaps forget some of the information. However, I do believe that Yahoo itself should find a way to create a more user friendly customer service department. When you are using your yahoo email account for important emails, which I can savely say I do not advise any longer after the all but satisfactory support I recieved, it is important that you recieve support in a timely matter. I feel there should be some sort of a provision to help those that may perhaps forget their information. It would definately subside some of the issues that, as you see, many useres are having. Some of these issues do not even involve someone losing their information, but their account being hacked. If Yahoo improved their customer service to a point where they could help those whose accounts were hacked and their information changed it would be an extreme improvement over being up the creek without a paddle. Will Posted by: Will at August 30, 2006 7:01 PMHi Will. I agree with you that if there are frequent stories about Yahoo being hacked and people's accounts being hijacked, it's really up to Yahoo to deal with the situation and come up with a different identity verification system. For one thing, I'm still baffled why so few sites let you pick your OWN security question. When the choices are where I was born, my Mom's maiden name or the last four digits of my SSN, those aren't that hard to research or guess. Having said that, I really feel for the people who have their accounts stolen and wish I could help, but as I said earlier, there's no way for me to differentiate between a legitimate request and someone trying to "social engineer" their way into the account of a friend / enemy / colleague / family member / spouse/ significant other, whatever. Posted by: Dave Taylor at August 30, 2006 8:23 PMdo u realise that most who comment here on this page are HACKERS i had an email account of 13/14 years ago and at the time the internet was fairly new i am from the UK, and i did not put in my correct details as we were adviced not to, so i put a false date of birth and a false zip code and i do not remmember it and some idiot has changed my password i got a confirmation email from yahoo that said the password has been changed but i never changed it i cannot stop crying and i need help. my yahoo ID is caen1@yahoo.com this is gurudatt Dave, Hackers have got better things to do - to phish yahoo passwords than come to this webpage to give them a hand. You see so many angry users because this is a **** problem with Yahoo. Posted by: KK at September 8, 2006 4:02 PMhello I just had my Yahoo account hacked I think. I couldn't login to my Yahoo Messenger or my Yahoo mail. :( And the alternate mail I provided was to a hotmail account, which I somehow have a problem with cos everytime I login to it, the account has been de-activated. So I dont' know whether anyone has changed my password. I provided fake info for my yahoo account cos I wanted a .com instead of a .com.sg suffix. And now I'm regretting it. I've used yahoo for a very very long time and almost my entire web existence is tied to this. :( I'm afraid of what could happen if this person has a hold of my email. Please, how do I get my Yahoo account back? I really need it back. Posted by: Megan at September 25, 2006 2:36 AMHello Mr.Dave, Hello Mr Dave, I have been using the yahoo for a few years and i couldnt access it one day, i believed it was hacked. My email is 'igtws@yahoo.com'. Can you please help me to get back my account? Thanks.... Please email to winc87@gmail.com. :) Posted by: Mr Wong at October 2, 2006 2:24 AMNOTE: If you have lost your password to your Yahoo account, please start your recovery process by going here: http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/security/cgi_feedback Any suggestion that there's an email address you can use to get started is probably NOT true and is probably a subtle phishing attempt unto itself. Please, if you need help with Yahoo! go to the Yahoo site and navigate from there...

Somebody i work with created an yahoo id using my first and last name. how can i stop him from doing this? i have a feeling he's trying to cause trouble with my name. thanks!!!! Posted by: Wil Loesel at November 8, 2006 9:07 PMI forgot my password to my yahoo account. How can I get it back? Posted by: Blake at November 16, 2006 8:46 PMI have an account of which i remember the user name (nsprams_ns) and all other details, but have some problem with the password. i thought i knew the right one. Now after repeated efforts to get back my id and change the password yahoo says that they have suspended the account for security reasons. I just wish i got back the address book of the account. GOSH! Yahoo lied to me. I just had my email hi-jacked. I can't access my mail. I purposely put the wrong b-day in to keep from being broken into, and it backfired on me. I can't give yahoo a b-day to match, so they won't let me in. I told them my secret question AND answer. They said I need to give them the last 8 digits of the credit card I had YYYYEEEAARS ago used and no longer have. I had the last 4 digits, just not the last 8. They would not help me. I have important info from the law school I'm trying to enter and irreplaceable pictures of my parents and children. I told Yahoo I would give them any info they wanted, but without the b-day, which I set wrong 10 years ago, or a credit card #, which I got rid of 5 years ago, they would NOT help me. I'm am furious. I was hi-jacked and they don't care. Posted by: Pat at November 27, 2006 9:25 AMComment #2...Oops, forgot to tell you HOW Yahoo lied to me. I asked if they had any other complaints of being locked out from mysteriously changed passwords. They told me NO problems. I talked to 3 reps. and have the reference #s for 2 of the calls. They assured me this was not a problem with Yahoo. The problem IS with Yahoo. The bottom line is that I did not change my password. I can't even change it myself because of my forgotten info. So it was OBVIOUSLY hacked. Yahoo has security problems. The irony is that the honest users can't get in, but the hackers can. Shame on yahoo. Posted by: Pat at November 27, 2006 9:34 AMI have been Yahoo for more than 7 years, I checked my email today morning (27th Nov 2006 - 10 AM) and after lunch when i tried to sign in again, it said invalid password.

Hi Dave, Somebody has hacked my yahoo password on sep-11-06, which i used for nearly 9 years. I have all my personal details in it. I contacted yahoo multiple time regarding this problem, they can't do anything, as i don't remember the secret question... i was even ready to go to the yahoo office in california with my all personal details to prove the yahoo id as mine, but they said no. I tried to file a police complaint in Hollywood ca, they said... "we can't take a complaint, unless there is any real damage/threat" I tried all the things, whatever i can do... i failed. I am praying god day and night, to put me out of this problem.

Posted by: Chaithanya at December 23, 2006 5:53 AMi have forgotten my yahoo password and related information .It has beeen registered 3 years back. My story is I got scammed when I was 16 to using my account as collateral for an online trade. He screwed me on the trade and kept my e-mail. That was around 6 years ago. I've been trying to get my Yahoo account back ever since. My post is a summary for anyone not wanting to read the long flow of comments above and Dave's (not entirely helpful) article. Your options when you forget your password/get hacked/get scammed/etc are: 1) Yahoo forgotten password form This isn't helpful if you've been hacked by someone with an IQ above 60 because they probably changed your zip code and security information along with your password) https://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_forgot_pw 2) Yahoo!'s Feedback Forms I actually have gotten a response a few times from these guys and they did their best to help me but without your registration info they can't do much. http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/edit/cgi_feedback 3) Call Yahoo! To put it nicely, Yahoo CS is not well-known for its generosity, efficiency, or being humane. The Yahoo Customer Service agent is sort of like a dragon, it has its good moods and bad moods and it sits on a pile of gold sleeping all day. If you piss it off enough it will either give you what you want or, alternatively, burn you with its fire breath. In my research I've encountered people who claim (including here) that they were able to get Yahoo phone representatives to give them their accounts back. I've been unable to move them to do so. I even offered to drive out there to California from where I live with my birth certificate, driver's license, and college transcripts to prove who I am. Numbers to try: Yahoo! "Customer Service": 1-866-562-7219 Other numbers 4) Pay hackers to get your account back A guy above mentions a site where you can hire a hacker to get into your account. I in no way endorse them and I think their asking price is more than a little absurd. It might also be a scam, so use them at your own risk. They are called hire hackers.

Hi, I too am in the same boat as many all my info has been changed or something I am imagining i have been hacked into because I went to log into my messenger and email and it said invalid info and now here i sit with no way to retrieve my information I made this account like 12 - 13 years ago and I do not think I used my right info as I was scared to do so but i do know the answers to my security questions I always make sure I know that info in case I need to retrieve my password but with yahoo they want all this other info what do we do? I am really hurt this has happened any advice would be greatly appreciated Posted by: Rachelle Albarran at March 5, 2007 12:41 AMYes, I WAS in the same boat as everyone else. Yahoo won't help, They don't care. If so, they would have more effective provisions on this issue. So forget about Yahoo and fight fire with fire...find a hacker to hack into and get you back your account. Because if you wait on Yahoo or any of these so called " I can do it but I won't for whatever reason" Industry Gurus, techies, and programmers, Anna Nicole Smith's daughter will be collecting her social security while reading about you still not being able to get into your e-mail account.

Suddenly, when I clicked on Inbox, it asked me the password and even after giving correct password, it's not validating my account. I feel that my password is hi-jacked. Also I don't remember my personal details as my acount was created by one of my friend about 4-5 years ago as I was new to Internet at that time and i have no contact to him now. I am unable to understand what to do now. I tried to use the actual postcode etc but it's not matching. Can you please-2 help me re-login to my yahoo mails? Please send me the new password on my alternate mail id - baljeetindian@yahoo.co.in Thanks hi Dave Hi Dave
Please help me I am really tensed becoz in this mail box I had all my previous correspondance. Pls pls pls help me. Regards, Hi Dave, I am trying to get into my yahoo and it is not letting me log in or out I think it was hacked can you please help me I had this account since 2000 if not longer. Please I have alot of my information I saved to that accout. Thank you, Hi, Last weekend some one hacked in to my yahoo and has surely changed Zip code and password. It wont let me login. In less than 24 hrs my yahoo account was gone. I remember loggin on to a geocities site, but dont remember exactly what it was. Is there any solution that I can get yahoo id back. I remmeber the persinal info, but I guess the hacker has chnaged that too. Posted by: Stun at May 10, 2007 9:30 PMI have also had a yahoo account since 1999 and as everyone here tried logging in and can't. I tried to request new password but I put in my id and ticked that I have not used credit card and the next page says we have no more information for you. I looked up my profile and its saying not available so it seems for whatever reason its been deleted or something. I did provide an alternative email to send passwords to but its useless if the accounts been deleted or details changed. This has happened to many people When I created this id I remember being new to the internet and not liking the idea to input my true name address and postcode, like thousands of others I put fake post code etc and didn't keep records thinking I wouldn't need them. All those years ago and computer novice like many others did not forsee the consequences so I think it's a bit harsh to be so heavy on some of us. Even though I did provide the alternative email as its most probably been hacked and changed I can't do much about that can I, If yahoo kept records of what details were, are and any changes kept recorded it would be helpfull. I am surprised though at people putting thier password into geocity etc I wouldn't put my password into any program. God only knows how mine has been hacked coz I haven't even used it in months and months and even then I only logged in to see if it was still working, I didnt use the email with it or any programs groups or links. Yahoo don't delete accounts either if they arent logged into for a while so its not that. I also have another account older than this one thats still working. I would say it proves you shouldnt ever use yahoo for credit card stuff or anything important, banking etc. My account was just for chatting and very rarely so I was lucky. I'm glad I didnt input my true personal details anyway because whoever got in there still wont know them. Posted by: Diane at May 13, 2007 6:24 AMsome one change my password, zip code and country of my account. My id is "thekiller_imad" so what i do now. how can i recover my password. Posted by: imad at May 13, 2007 12:52 PMhi dave, hi, i changed my account's password two days ago...and i hav not been able to login since then..i guess someone might hav hacked the account or may be there was some prob in yahoo server at that time and so the password did not change properly.....it has been a long time since i made this account. now, i dont even remember the answer to secret question..however i remember all other details of the account..pls tell me how do i recover my account..if u hav any e-mail id of yahoo support from where i can get back password..pls lemme know..it would be of great help for me... I am just learning the computer. I an not stupid, only to this f---ing machine. What's up? hey, I'm finding yahoo very annoying at the moment, I can get my yahoo ID sent to a alt email i have no access to anymore using the right information, but i can't get my password reset because it says the same info i used, to get the id sent to my alt email is wrong. Thanks. Posted by: Ness at May 20, 2007 4:52 AMIt is a tragedy that Yahoo doesn't care it's customers cry. It's actually the duty of Yahoo to stop any Phissing sites upon the first complaint and find the curlpit and reverse the passwords it changed. And they can find those machine generated passwords easily. I lost it thru the all_my_new_pics geocities site and it was usual for yahoo to ask password unnecessarily in between page transitions. I can prove my identity as my photo is still saved in my geocities webpage and my profile.. And my profile contains enough information that can positively identify with my passport. I have the same problem as everyone else...My account was hacked as well, information changed and I cannot recall what birthdate i put in because it was 10+ years ago and I didnt trust putting correct information back then... Sir, 2 weeks ago, I went into YM, and a mssg. came in saying I'd abused the YM Program, and if I wanted to keep my account active to click on the link below. I clicked on the link, and have been shut out of Yahoo ever since. I emailed numerous times, and phoned Customer Care for Yahoo, in California 3 times. (I am in Northern Canada) I am so frustrated with Yahoo. They won't do anything to help me, only tell me to send in info, which I already have sent in numerous times! All I am asking for is for them to reset my password, as I cannot access it at all. Its says 'invalid username or password" Yahoo have NOT done a thing to help me, and I am not very happy with them. I have websites, and groups, I cannot get into. I have given them all my info, so why are they dragging their feet. I didn't do anything wrong here, yet, I'm being tossed back and forth with no one helping me. OH, by the way, I never ever have abused Yahoo, or any other Program online, for that matter. Its too bad hackers don't have better things to do. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Thanks Sharad Posted by: sharad at September 4, 2007 2:25 PMdear sir! Dave, One day I put my password in and it never worked anymore. It gave me a fatal message error when I put my old password in. I have tried to get my password back since. I have all the info yahoo needs to get my password back except for the secret answer to my secret question and I do not remember which alternate email address I put in when I first registred my account? Is there any thing I could do to get my email account back, I have a list of old contacts on there that are very important to me. Hi. Few days ago I also had the same problem. somebody changed the password of my mail which I was using from last year.my id is vpsingh@gmail.com. I dont remember secret question which was entered, as the time I made the account there was no gmail India. Hence I put some other information which I cant remember. Is something can be done ? that account is very very important to me. Please advice.

I, unlike many here, know all my info. My b-day, postal codes, country ect. and still it says I have not entered in my information correctly. I thought ok maybe I made a mistake. So I opened another yahoo account that I have and looked at my personal information. I tried to get Yahoo to reset the password for this account and typed it in exactly as it appeared. Still it refused. So I now know I have not forgoten my information. Yahoo's password recovery system is flawed! If someone can help me please send me a message to my other account kevinsky18@yahoo.com Posted by: kevin at December 29, 2007 3:03 PMCan you help me? I lost password accout of yahoo mail.

Posted by: Kishore at January 3, 2008 11:09 AMhello Thanks Posted by: parisa at January 4, 2008 7:56 AM Hi everyone. I just got myself out of a similar situation to most of you. My password was changed, and I didn't remember my personal information to retrieve it. Just got my password reset! Here's how I did it: - call +14083491572 (Yahoo customer support) *thanks to Rene van der Hoofd for the number Note that this may depend on the agent you get. The one I dealt with was very helpful. This may not always be the case. Also, if you don't have access to your alternate email address, I'm sorry but you may be out of luck. Best of luck! Hope this helps. Posted by: saviour at January 6, 2008 6:27 PMLike others all of sudden could not get into my Yahoo account. Trying the procedure as listed on 01-04-08 did not work. They've locked it, maybe because I tried using their automated procedure on their website. I've faxed them copies of my drivers license and passport and sent them all information they requested, but cannot get a response. Any ideas?

Posted by: dorcas at February 3, 2008 2:04 PMAfter reading all the information and comments here, I now understand that a free mail account is hacked. So what do you suggest to prevent it from getting hacked in the first place. Should we choose as long a password as they allow you to use? And giving an alternate email address and using the question and answer option and noting down all the information?? By the way how can they hack a web based email account?? Using Brute force like softwares?? Someone please answer. Posted by: Manoj at February 10, 2008 6:46 AMDave; My question to you is. I'm really new at the the computer, and I'm trying to install settings on my toolbar, but I don't happen to know what my URL is.

Thanking You In Advance Bob Lopez Posted by: BOB at February 11, 2008 1:20 PMI am sure I know the answer to whatever security question i answered in the setup process - the problem is that it doesn't ask me a security question. it only asks for my zip code an country and birthday. how do i get to the point where it asks for the security question.

I went to Kyoto ( living in Tokyo) for 6 days and tried to log on ( messenger remembered password) but that messenger finished or yahoo stopped using it on April 2, 2008 ( which I never got any warning about) and says I am logged on on another machine which has happened when I went from airport to a hotel ethernet connection before.

This is what I did so far. Obviously I was hacked so I called yahoo they gave me an a-mail address to their security specialist. After sending them my info since I didnt remembered my alternate e-mail they asked me to fax my info again and the copy of my photo ID. So right now I need to wait 72 hours and I'm hoping they can help. Reading this forum I have doubts though. Good luck to you all. Posted by: Las at April 16, 2008 8:06 PMPlease l need help from you to fine out my yahoo id password Posted by: samuel yartey at April 18, 2008 10:28 AMLOL So I seem to be in the boat with everyone else. Kind of. I have a most wonderful computer - it remembers my passwords for me. No one has hacked my computer. I just moved to a new house and was in the process of updating all my IM accounts with the new information. I've got four MSN accounts and one Yahoo account. I just wish someone would email my yahoo password to my yahoo account. LOL If only for the beauty of having my computer remember my passwords for my IM, I'd never be on Yahoo. I only remember my ID cause that's all I see. I just click sign-in for all my accounts and I'm in. I know that no one can verify whether or not I'm the account holder. But I personally would like my password sent to me or to ANY of the alternative emails I have listed with the account... which I don't think I ever added. LOL Oh well. I guess I'm just doomed to one day no longer have a Yahoo account. Because if my 2-year-old son ever turns on the computer before I do, I'll kiss Yahoo goodbye. I like the old security setup. This one messes with more innocent users than the hackers do. At least in my account. If anyone can help me out (for free) my account is tobyyes. Thanks same boat as everyone else.remember all my personnal info but yahoo wants the question i was asked and the answer.did anyone get help? thanks Posted by: scotthigbee at April 22, 2008 8:26 PMI'am so sad because I don't rember my password for my yahoo email & I con't go to my myspace. Posted by: Lupe Perez at April 28, 2008 8:23 PMhi Dave I forgot my password to my yahoo e-mail address the yahoo address is jay1tyler@yahoo.com I need access to it so I can get the rest of my work done I hope you can resolve my problem quickly thanks dear just i woul like to explane every think is right in my computer but when i try to use yahoo massenger to opem my id go to for chat that is not going to open givening problem what try again. My yahoo name is Varsinax. With it, I registered a Domain and Website with yahoo. The name of the website was Aoyn.com. It was a message board community for role playing. The members of Aoyn eventually grew out of control. The broke the terms of service severely. By not stopping them from breaking the ToS, I was breaking yahoo's ToS on my Domain and Website. They deactivated my Varsinax named, which in turn took down my Domain and Website. Now... I have registered a new yahoo name, a new Domain, and a new Website. I make our community follow the ToS, so bad things can't happen again to us. All the account information for the Varsinax yahoo name is just a bunch of nonsense, that I don't remember, because I had put it in as nonsense to throw off stalkers. I never thought yahoo would do this to me. They never warned me. They just deactivated my Varsinax name and it took down everything. ANYHOW, the only way they can identify me is by my credit card number. I called them, and all their questions about my account... I had it wrong, because like I said above, I changed it all to nonsense that I don't remember. They identified me when I confirmed the credit card with them. However, they would not restore my password or go any further with me. They said I needed to contact Yahoo via email. Now, hold up... I thought any company out there could handle any problem by phone. And they just confirmed my credit card information, which I had been using for the Domain and Website. If you know of an email to send my situation to, at Yahoo, then please let me know. But... I am so upset. This all happened more than a year ago, but it's still insane how I can't even use my yahoo name. I broke their ToS. I need to be forgiven. I won't break it again. What, they ban you once, then you're done?? There has to be a way!! Any ideas?? All I want is to be able to use my Varsinax yahoo name again, if for nothing else, just to chat with old friends. Posted by: Varsinax at May 3, 2008 6:39 AMpls help me i cant remember my current yahoo password and got new one but not like it wants change new password how do i do that?? thanks what is url??
I took have had my account hacked. It happened last Friday night. I had to wait until today (Monday) to do anything about it, but after a phone call I think I am pointed in the right direction. I had to send an e-mail the the account security people, they then sent me a form to fill out and e-mail back. This was about 3 hours ago. I am confident that I will get access back to my account as it seems most of the people who had issues had not supplied real information on themselves from the beginning.

Before they delete it for inactivity. Please can anyone help me? :( Posted by: Carolyn Ferreira at May 16, 2008 2:20 AMsomeone "hacked" into my yahoo account. now i cannot login and cannot even retrieve my password. i am not given a choice to enter my birthdate and zip code. when i try to use the yahoo password retrieval page (https://edit.yahoo.com/forgot?login=&intl=us&done=http%3a//mail.yahoo.com&src=ym&bail=) i get this: To reset the password for this account, please contact Yahoo! Customer Care Our Customer Care team will email you instructions that will help confirm your identity and allow them to better assist you. Contact Customer Care how do i find a lost password? Posted by: kasia korman at May 25, 2008 10:36 AMI didn't get locked out of my account as such at first but I noticed that when I logged in, sometimes the chat was unavailable. When trying to launch it I would get an error message "Chat logged in another application or computer. OK" Then it would disconnect. Absolutely not possible. I changed my password. Several days later the same again, so I log out and in on my 2nd Yahoo account. I was available from my 1st Yahoo account for chat! So I sent a message asking what the heck they were doing on my account. 10 seconds later they disconnect. They obviously have access to my personal account data too and now I've lost both yahoo ids. I'm hoping that my paid for by credit card Flickr Pro account on my hijacked Yahoo id will redeem itself so I can transfer all my photos over to another new Yahoo account and sort, back up and delete all email on both webmail accounts. If they don't listen I'll notify the credit card company, Trading Standards in the UK and a very big EU organisation who sent my logins for their server to one of those accounts and I'm sure Yahoo doesn't want to piss them off.

My Yahoo account was hijacked overnight, and within minutes of receiving the 'your password has been changed' email, my family and friends were getting emails from 'me' requesting money be sent to Nigeria. I won't ask you for help in fixing the problem. But perhaps you can give me an idea of my chances of Yahoo helping me fix the problem. Should I chase them hard, or is it a waste of time?

Hi Dave,On 12/10/08 I was able to access my yahoo mail & groups. On 12/12/08 I tried logging in and received message that password was invalid. I have had this account since 1999. I have gone through all the online procedures to recover my password . I have contacted customer service via email & phone calls. Apparently when I created the account the date of birth I used is correct . I receive the "Sorry, your password can't be reset online" message when trying to reset online. Phone calls are a dead end as they say they cannot help me without a correct DOB. The account is vital to our business and the group has over 975 members. I had changed my alternate email address on 10/28 and deleted a hotmail address and upon review of my googlemails,I now realize I got the verfiy email but did not confirm the new alternate email addresschange. I can't remember the secret question, I can give the correct answers if asked. please help me Posted by: sanju at December 22, 2008 6:19 AMi dont remember my password to sheenibeeni_08@yahoo.com.

Hi Dave, It's a shame that people like me have to ask these sort of questions to you instead of getting helpful answers from the source responsible for all this. It must be a burden. Have you tried contacting yahoo yourself for answers? I think if more people who are as knowledgeable like you on such matters where to demand yahoo for answers they would listen. If you are able to help me, please reply. I will give you all the information you may need. Thank you Posted by: Ru at January 8, 2009 12:38 AMHi Dave, I have a very urgent problem....I think my husband is cheating on me behind.

I gave a new password, which I only know and thought I would never forget it. But now, after some time on logging in, I have forgotten my password and I tried various permutations and combinations but in vain. I also tried to give the personal information, which the Yahoo is not accepting and saying it is wrong. Please advice me on how to regain my password or get a new password. A thousand blessings on you if you help me. A genuine party.

Good Luck!

My Yahoo home page has a new format.Changed without my touching a key. Look to Yahoo for the problem.

I am using firefox and it saves my password, this is why I did not have to worry about it for last couple of years. Everything was fine until my computer crashed and I had to reformat my computer and that deleted all the history and saved passwords of every website and email providers. I am really scared and don't know what to do. I have used the same password for every website. I know its very unlikely for it to be hacked because of my security privacy thing in every website. But I was wondering if there is anyway that I could get my old password back. I know I could go and change my password, but I have bee using it for a little while and I do not want to change it now and the fact its the same everywhere I dont really have to worry about it changing everywhere else and do the same process... Please help me and let me know if there is any way that I could get into my account with the same old password that I used to use it for past so many years... Thank you very much!
