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.

Trying to access into my yahoo email account and type my email zip code every thing that show on the screen;it sucks!

Mary T. said, on May 11, 2011 2:10 AM:

Dave --

Your arrogant and idiotic advice was worthless.

First of all -- everyone knows that the main reason most
people used Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. accounts is to remain
ANONYMOUS while communicating with strangers
on the internet -- which naturally means that they are
NOT going to provide their REAL name, address,
phone number, zip code, date of birth and so on.

The only TRUE answer most people provide when
setting up these anonymous accounts is the correct
ANSWER to the SECRET QUESTION for the account
(which, by the way, is what MOST sites use – along
with the person’s email address and / or username --
in order to confirm who the person is and send them
their new password or re-set the password in seconds).

Yahoo has one of the worst reputations anywhere for
how it has treated customers whose passwords no longer
work (for whatever) – and yet – when someone comes to
you for advice on dealing with them – you choose to take
the “blame the victim” approach in your response.

Pathetic.

Utterly Pathetic.

Dave Taylor said, on May 11, 2011 8:35 AM:

Mary, sounds like you have some anger management issues to deal with. I'll wish you good luck with that and hope you can stop by and offer up some useful help to others in our community down the road...

Gman said, on May 23, 2011 11:01 AM:

While I'll agree with what most people here have said, and that this advice is a bit useless, I should also point out that Yahoo no longer even asks me for my secret question. When trying to retrieve my password today it simply asked me for my Yahoo ID and to enter in the random code it generated below. Then, after clicking on Next, it gave me a message "Sorry, your password can't be reset online.
For security reasons, we require you to contact Customer Care"

But never once did it ask me for the answer to my secret question. How useless is it to have such a system if we can't use it to protect our accounts?

shahzeb sheikh said, on May 27, 2011 11:38 AM:

Hello Dave,
I am a very serious issue with my yahoo account(shahzeb_libra10@yahoo.com). It seems someone has changed my password. When I try to reset it, it asks my alternate email address. But, this person also hacked my alternate email address. I do not know how to get it back now. It does not even ask for any security question. Please help me, I need to get my email account back. I have personal data in it. Thank you so much for your time. I will greatly appreciate any reply from you. I can also provide my some more information, if you are willing to help me out with this.

Thank You

hi, Once i have faced this type of problem, i tried to enter my email account but password was changed by the hacker. I retrieve password by such method.

Support really helped me out and sent me a new password on my other email account.try this hopefully it will work.

I recently changed my password an have forgotten it. When I tried to get it back it asked me for a recovery question to which I can't remember. And i didnt set up an alternative email. I am praying yahoo sends me my password even if it's not my alternative email?

Dear Sir,

My name is Rian from indonesia.
Could you please help me out recovering my wife's yahoo account since there are a lot of important and private information in it.
Here is the ID ; fitri_h80@yahoo.com
The hacker changed the security questions and answer, I have tried to email yahoo CS but no answer (it says the email is no longer used for costumer services inquiries).
Is calling the Yahoo CS number good idea? since it cost very much. If it is worthed, which phone number is the most suitable for me (from indonesia).
Please help us out.

Regards,
Ryan

LOL said, on September 18, 2011 12:36 AM:

i have a solution for everybody.

first step is : go to your internet browser.
second step : mail.yahoo.com
third step : make a new account

That's ALL :)

I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you, Dave, for all your helpful information by buying you a cup of coffee!
