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.
In my country, unlike the US, zip code aint popular at all. We don't use such data often. I was about to register full service by credit card, for Yahoo! with no ads, but now I am so disturbed and highly disappointed!

Pleeeeeeeeeeease HELP?

Dave's Answer:

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.

Ravi Mishra said, on April 4, 2009 5:54 AM:

i was using yahoo mail for several years and then since last year i was suddenly not able to log on using my password. rquested yahoo but of no help as no information matches.

but since my messanger was configured to log in to my mobile device,i get looged on whenever that hacker logs out of the yahoo messanger.

i tried my best to request yahoo for help several times but useless. i lost hope and stopped trying but recently i have started getting dirty porn messanger requests on my mobile which means that user is using my acnt in a very wrong way. i have my personnel mails and contacts which can be misused.

CAN YOU HELP IN ANYWAY

Hello,
My name is Jelena Im from Serbia and I have a problem with my facebook profil. Last week I kliked on this link http://faceserbia-extra.co.cc/ it led me to a fake facebook page, not knowing that it was fake I gave them my e -mail and my password, and of course since then I`m not able to log in to my facebook profil. and you can see that in my status the people who compromised may profil have posted the same link that leads to the fake facebook login page. The trouble is that I used the same passeword for my yahoo e-mail so it is also compromissed, and they also changed all my setings . Can you do anything about this?
thanks Jelena

I just had my yahoo email hijacked and within a few hours i found out why they get hijacked. the thief send an email to all my contacts telling them "Hi this is XXXXXXXX i am sorry to bother you but I am in london staying at the XXXXX hotel and I had my wallet stolen and am in need of help, please send me $1450 to me here in my name via western union and send me the code an if possible a scan of the reciept. once I am able to payoff the hotel i will check out and travel back home and I promise that i will pay you back"
Luckily and embarrassing at the same time i recieved a lot of calls asking how i was doing and if i still needed the money from friends and family. i told them not to send it and that It was a hacker that did this.
now i am trying to recover my account but since the hacker changed all my personal info i cant request that my pass be reset.

I have a Yahoo account just as an alternet. You have listed about 2+ years of help appeals,almost all in the same vein. Seems to me that there is a problem at Yahoo. My regular provider never gives me fits but the yahoo address is something else. In addition, I had a "My Yahoo" home page until yesterday. This A.M. My Yahoo home page has a new format.Changed without my touching a key. Look to Yahoo for the problem.

I got a problem when trying to open my e-mail from 25th July

Again on 27th same problem & changed the pass word again & had an e-mail like earlier but that time I couldn't see my ID coming on top as usual it showed my true name. Anyway I tried to enter password & following again instruction but nothing worked. But every time I am getting an e-mail to my other A/c saying it changed successfully.I really want to access my mail & getting frustrated & very disappointing now

michael said, on July 27, 2009 9:42 PM:

hey dave, i was logged into my yahoo account and logged out to log into another yahoo account ( my business account) and did some work there. when i finished i tried to log back into my personal account and was unable to do so. i was prompted to change my password and did so but still can't get into my account. when they ask for my personal info (i.e., b-date, country, and zip code) i enter the info and am told that "the info does not match the info in my account profile" whats up with this?

Mike said, on July 29, 2009 6:00 AM:

I need access to a Yahoo account that belongs to someone other than me, but I have good reason. The account belongs to someone I have extensive proof is a poser of a celebrity on the internet. I fear they may be posing to gather personal information, and possibly worse. If you want the proof, let me know. The E-mail in question which I strongly feel I require access to is demilovato2008fanmail@yahoo.com
Please help in any way you can.

I really need some help. My lil brother got one of his lil girl friends to help him set up a yahoo email and a myspace. He has since went to jail and He gave me the passwords but when I go to log in it says thats its not right. He doesnt know what the secert Questions are. But whoever has access to his account is makin him seem like a horible person. He says that all otherinfo should be right unless it has recently been changed. I really need some help. It is causing so many problems within the family.

OMG! Just today, I had problems I delted Mozilla Seamonkey version 1.1.18 and kept version 2.0.
Now I can not send or receive new e-mails.
I also can not use my original yahoo username and password to gain access. I used Internet Explorer to gain access to the change password tool. After it said password change successful I printed it out.
I reset my modem also by automation. But an hour later Nothing has Changed! I use my user name and new password and I get the red letter message telling me it is invalid.
