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:

Yahoo! Password Reminder Questions

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.

Tom said, on November 17, 2005 9:30 PM:

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?

JoAnna said, on January 19, 2006 6:59 PM:

Dave: 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

Scott Paris said, on February 11, 2006 1:24 PM:

Dave...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. :)

Dave Taylor said, on February 11, 2006 10:51 PM:

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?

Rene van der Hoofd said, on February 25, 2006 11:48 PM:

I 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?

Shannon said, on February 27, 2006 12:29 PM:

I 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.

Uyen said, on March 1, 2006 2:34 AM:

Hello,
I'm really glad I found this site because I also have the same problem as some of you described here. I've been using my yahoo email for over 10 years. All of a sudden I cannot sign on. When I tried to reset my password, my secret info is not recognized! I'm just freaking out now because I stored important info in my account. This is a night mare!

Sam Martinez said, on March 28, 2006 4:43 PM:

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 .. :-(

Eswar Balasubrahmanyan said, on March 28, 2006 10:47 PM:

Hi,
My name is Eswar.
I had set a very easily hackable password that involved my name.
my account id is eswarjj.
I received an email to my alternate id eswarjj@gmail.com that the password has been changed.
I am not able to log in.
I remember everthing but the zip code. I have matched all other information with yahoo!. But they say they need the ZIP to reset the password.
I have all important emails inside like those relating to my graduate studies and US visa interview stuff.
I actually reside in India. I don't remember the ZIP code because I needed the zip to only register for a .com account instead of a .co.in account.
It's urgent.Also, I don't want the account misused.
Please email me to the id i have provided. Please man I have nobody to help but you.

Thanks in advance.

kamal said, on May 16, 2006 10:53 AM:

Hi. Few days ago I also had the same problem. somebody changed the password of my mail which I was using from last 8 years. I dont remember zip code and country which was entered, as the time I made the account there was no Yahoo 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.

Firemaker said, on May 20, 2006 6:40 AM:

Interesting read here, I also lost a free webmail account that I had for several years. after writing yahoo I eventualy got a real person that ask me to answer my secret question and would send me my password!
I rely was happy for a few days, and then after another week or so I was getting the automated reply again advising me that I would hear from someone within 48 hours I finally got a reply from another yahoo support person instead of the automated reply, but they did not know what I wanted assistance with. I quickly replied with the long email that they had replied to me with and pointed out the top line of the email that stated my request for my password to be reset along with pointing out all the pertinant info also contained in the email and enlarged the font on pertinant lines so that the person could read it since it already contained all the info.
then after a few days I was again being generously assisted by the automated reply advising me that I would soon hear from someone (maybe Terry Semel!)within 48 hours or never depending on the outcome of the party at David and Jerry's office.
after a month or so of corespondance I noticed that my account profile no longer comes up, only a page stateing that the account does not exist.
today I am thinking of sending another email to support. in doing so I stumbled upon this site and decided to leave my edifying tale with the rest.
maybe I'll skip the yahoo email thing today and go surfin instead :)

Vyom said, on June 6, 2006 4:46 AM:

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this site and post.
I have been using yahoo since last 10 years and mostly for messanger and groups.

Today morning I made my first cardinal mistake... I gave my password to a site in GeoCities.
An old friend of mine messaged me with a website which sounded very very interesting as it was very unlike him....http://www.geocities.com/my_new_hott_pics/

Anyhow... the site asked me for yahoo password twice and redirected me to the MyPhotos site..
I thought it was odd but did not pay attention as it was busy.

Anyhow... I went for lunch and came back to find that my account password was changed. I tried to get back the password but I do not remeber when i had last updated thee address/zip (India/US, which city etc)

Anyhow... is there any way I can log an official complain to yahoo security. or am I fighting a losing battle ?

Nach said, on June 7, 2006 12:24 PM:

Hi,

Thanks for posting.

I'm using yahoo for last 6 years.

Yesterday night, I too made a mistake... I gave my password to a site in GeoCities.
An old friend of mine messaged me with a website(http://www.geocities.com/all_my_new_pics/) which pretty much looked like yahoo with yahoo logo on it. The URL also had yahoo on it, it could be dummy parameter also, i didn't closely look into it.

I created my yahoo account long time back, and i have never faced issues like forget password, etc., so i'm not sure what info. i gave while opening yahoo account.

Any help or directions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
-Nach.

Please guide anyone

Pratibha said, on July 4, 2006 12:27 PM:

Hi 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 am broken; i have been using these ids for everything - 3.5yrs(yahoo) and 5 yrs(rediff). it seems i have lost just everything - all my contacts and all my precious mails.

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.... :(
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
will be highly grateful to u.

Thanks and Regards,

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.

dada said, on July 12, 2006 3:40 PM:

Hi 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?
That account is very, very important for me! I've been using yahoo since 2000.

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.

Angelica Pedroza said, on July 15, 2006 5:08 PM:

hi 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

Alison said, on July 18, 2006 8:10 PM:

I 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.

Please Dave help me recover my password. I am using this account for the past 7 years and I really have some important information in that account. Please Dave help me.

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 ????

Sandeep Gupta said, on August 9, 2006 10:41 PM:

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).

Dave,
The fact is Yahoo is buggy. Someone changes the zip code, you are doomed. The alternate email address has no use. Yahoo needs to shut down its mail service and learn from gmail which is way lot better.

Atomic Guy said, on August 24, 2006 3:11 AM:

There 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.

Thanks

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.

steve moore said, on August 30, 2006 6:16 PM:

Im 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

Will said, on August 30, 2006 7:01 PM:

Dave,
Your comments seem very much like cut downs to those who have been hacked. The fact is that Yahoo Messenger, which many people use, has so many security holes in it that it is, in my opinion, one of the easiest hacked Messenger programs out there. I use it, but I too have had trouble with hackers and my account.

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

Dave Taylor said, on August 30, 2006 8:23 PM:

Hi 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.

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.

Megan said, on September 25, 2006 2:36 AM:

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.

Prasath Sankarapandian said, on September 25, 2006 6:07 AM:

Mr Wong said, on October 2, 2006 2:24 AM:

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. :)

Dave Taylor said, on October 2, 2006 6:53 PM:

NOTE:

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...

huang welly said, on October 10, 2006 8:51 PM:

AdiKrishna said, on October 14, 2006 12:19 AM:

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, Aditya

Rish said, on October 19, 2006 4:05 PM:

Hi Dave,

I have been a victime of the same problem that numerous people above have mentioned. My password's been hacked and my security infromation changed so there is NO WAY I can get it back. But the account has such important information that I cant afford to let it go as well.

Now, I agree with your comment here

"Quote:- "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."
"
and so ( assuming you can help me), I can prove to you without doubt that I am the original owner of my yahoo account by providing you with DETAILED information abt my mailbox - including personal folders, contacts list people, mailing lists/friends/forums from whom I regularly receive mails, as if you think of it, how will I know all this information if I am asking your help to hack someone else's account. And I do think this can prove my authenticity more than any secret information as that can easily be changed by the hacker.

Please reply back if this information will convince you enough to help me recover my account.

Many thanks for any help you can provide here

Ingrid said, on October 20, 2006 8:00 PM:

I had an email on yahoo. I changed my password like two times... but when I changed it the last time I started to get problems when I wanted to sign in, it kept telling me that I had the password wrong. And the problem is that my alternative email was one from netscape xxxx@netscape.net, and now they changed it to xxxx@aim.com, so I will never get my password again!!! :(

JR said, on November 2, 2006 7:07 PM:

I also had my accounts suddenly not mine. And the the unique names are not avialable again to me but match all my other accounts!
No being able to choose one's own hint is a big weak point. I could hack every X I ever had (like if I cared that is. Becuase I am attentive I remember their first pet, when they used created name, why they chose that id name, where.

Those hints are the way in usually .. but once even a single piece of info is changed.. how can the owner reclaim it?
Even if you know it was an X? The time apart has made new memories that can key their hint. Unles it is fav food, first pet or family info.
I know it was my former spouse by the breaking of the hint and knowing my location when the account was opened for zip code.
And I hate my new alternative..reel christmasfish..
because I was THE original Christmasfish!
My other missing names Truechidna & purrfctnknosit
are also reflective upon paid service names.
Thank goodness only one account has about a year of IMPORTANT mail. I have had aol since 1993 so I have continuity there. Tehy are an evil empire that holds my mail in proprietary software..

Yahoo needs better identifiers and maybe asking tour alt email if ther was on? Yahoo was supposed to be my pinch hit alternate if I had collapse of finnace and needed a free service name my family could find. (I move a lot for businces and military)
Who can you even complain to? the 6 6 2 step phone menu to a person that may or may not speak the same language as you?
This seems to be worse a prob than I first thought now thgat I see all the postal clients of email hack..

P.Santosh kumar said, on November 3, 2006 1:49 PM:

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this site and post.
I have been using yahoo since last 5 years and mostly for messanger and groups.

Today morning I made my first cardinal mistake... I gave my password to a site in GeoCities.
An old friend of mine messaged me with a website which sounded very very interesting as it was very unlike himhttp://www.geocities.com/h0t_sweet_girls_pics1Anyhow... the site asked me for yahoo password twice and redirected me to the MyPhotos site..
I thought it was odd but did not pay attention as it was busy.

Anyhow... I went for lunch and came back to find that my account password was changed. I tried to get back the password but I do not remeber when i had last updated thee address/zip (India/US, which city etc)

Anyhow... is there any way I can log an official complain to yahoo security. or am I fighting a losing battle ?


Pls mail..me Dave..very urgent..

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.
Please help.
Thank you,

Pat said, on November 27, 2006 9:25 AM:

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.

Pat said, on November 27, 2006 9:34 AM:

Comment #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.

Walesking said, on November 27, 2006 4:26 PM:

I 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.
I think its hacked.
The password recovery tool asks for my DOB,Zipcode and Country, I dont remember what I put in before 7 years.
Is there any way, I can validate my credentials and get the password reset.
Please help.

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 had so many sleepless night thinking of this problem. Every now and then, i can see the hacker online with my yahoo ID, which hurts me the most.

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.

Please let me know, if you can help me

Thanks

pls do needful

A friend said, on January 5, 2007 1:30 PM:

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
http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/security/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
Yahoo! Small Business/Store: 1-866-800-8092

Other numbers
866-850-4303
866-562-7228
408-349-1572
408-349-3300
408-329-5151
800-318-0631

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.

I received an email to my alternate id aravindvemula@gmail.com that the password has been changed.

It's urgent.Also, I don't want the account misused.
Please email me to the id i have provided. Please man I have nobody to help but you.

Hi,

I have an account divsagarwal@yahoo.co.in I changed the password of this account and logged in after an hour or so but had login problems.

I tried retrieving the password but it so appears that I have forgotten the answer of the secret question. My secret question is “Name of my Pet��?. If required I can tell you the answer. I entered the information but it appears it is miss spelt. I remember my yahoo information – Date of Birth, Country, Zip Code, alternate email address.

You can either contact me at me divyagoel211@yahoo.com or divyagoel211@rediffmail.com

Please help me. You can set a new password for me if required.

Regards,
Divya Goel

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

Eric said, on March 6, 2007 3:42 AM:

Yes, 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.

eric said, on March 8, 2007 8:04 AM:

From home in both cases I get an error that says the accounts aren't valid.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for this site.
I have been using yahoo since for the last 8 years .

My yahoo account and password was hacked. My friend sent me a message which has links to Geocities/new_hot_pics, I though it was true.I have no idea that it will steal my account.It redirected me to Geocities site then asked me to enter my password twice. I thought it was ok but then, my password was gone. I followed the procedure of the Help links in the Yahoo site but even the other information such as Zip code, country etc did not work.

I would like to ask for your help and assistance to make my account and password be retrieved. I have so many impt. files and messages in that account.Is there any way I can get it back? Thanks for your help and more power!

Thanks,
Nante

Suresh said, on April 1, 2007 11:31 PM:

Dear Mr Dave

I ve been using the yahoo since 1999. I ve never changed my password or ID at any time. Last week, I checked my email. The next day when i enter with the same ID and password, it showed invalid ID or password. I m sure that my yahoo address is amcsuresh@yahoo.com and while retrieving my yahoo password, I am not sure with the details like ZIP Code. So, it shows : The Information entered does not match with your Account. Now, I request you to help me in recovering my yahoo account as i have many documents reg my project etc. My only key in recovering the yahoo is my Secret Q & A, abt which I m 100% sure. Plz send my ID and password, to my presently using address:amcsuresh@gmail.com

Plz help me....as i lost many contact email(s), my project documents...I am ready to give any further details required to assist you.

Thanking U in advance

alex said, on April 4, 2007 4:11 PM:

hi i 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?

Reena said, on April 5, 2007 9:32 AM:

Hi Dave,

I’m desperately need your help to get my yahoo account back. Suddenly on Dec I lost both my Hotmail and Yahoo account which both of them alternative to each other!!
I got my hotmail account back for one day only but next day it was hacked again! Till now I didn’t get my yahoo account back although I provided Yahoo services accounts with the correct Qs and they’re saying I didn’t give the secret Q answer, although I’m sure it’s the correct one!! The hacker is someone who doesn’t stop sending pictures and emails from my old relations from my yahoo account to my fiancé trying to destroy our relation, and he nearly succeed!! He has been doing that for the 3 months!! And I can’t guarantee that my fiancé will accept that for ever!! I know that he will break up with me any time!! I need to keep this marriage PLEASE!! Please get me back my password plzzzzzzzz my account is (roro_j2001@yahoo.com) and If you will help me and I know you will understand that, plz send it to Reemafya@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance.

Is ther anything I can do?

I some how inadvertenly locked myself out of my yahoo account. The password retrieval didnt work for me either. I set my account up over 10 years ago, my alternate account was invalid and I could not for the life of me figure out the answer to my secret question. I tried calling customer service and they were no help...the first time...the second time I called the woman was much more helpful and I got my password changed. I dont want to say exactly what she did, cause I dont want to give hackers here any ideas) but she helped...don't give up.

Hi,

I was logged into the yahoo mail. 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
Baljeet

Stun said, on May 10, 2007 9:30 PM:

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.

Diane said, on May 13, 2007 6:24 AM:

I 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.

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.
Any ideas would be appreciated, but either way sending to yahoo to get it reset(aus to the us) and I'm just hoping that the secret question and answer is right cause i've forgotten it.

Thanks.

Nikhil Mathew said, on May 22, 2007 8:36 AM:

It 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 think I need some serious legal move here.

dan said, on May 23, 2007 3:45 PM:

The difference is I am still actually logged on my account on my work cpu...i can view certain items under my account but for others am asked for password verification to proceed, is there anyway around this password verification?

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!!

svalentin said, on June 29, 2007 7:34 AM:

So, is there a way to convince a yahoo representavie to mail someone a new password to the accounts alternative email if that person doesn't know the zip code?
That's my case.. I got a mail on my alternative email saying someone changed my yahoo password and the zip code i entered in registration is something random. Is there a way to change the password and mail it to the alternative email? (presuming the hacker didn't change the alternative email already).
I am willing to provide any validation that i am not a hacker. For example: a yahoo representative can mail some contacts in the address book of that account and ask them to confirm that i am the real owner. They can check with me by phone or other means and reply back with the validation.
And is there a way to do this without phone?! (i don't live in USA)

Thanks

I would like to say that Yahoo! Free Email Account is untrusted and NOT reliable at all.
Recently, i suddenly could not sign in to my yahoo account and i am very very sure i never click on any phishing links or URL. It shocks me very much. At 11:30 pm on one day, i still can login, next day, at around 7:00 am, i suddenly cannot login. It may be the account has been hacked, and another possibility is Yahoo! MESSED UP MY EMAIL ACCOUNT INFO. I would suggest those people who are using Yahoo Email, should choose other email accounts as backup

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.

vpsingh said, on September 12, 2007 3:53 AM:

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.


Regards,

vpsingh

a poster said, on September 12, 2007 9:11 PM:

Why are others allowed to post repeatedly, but I had new info on my lock-out at yahoo. I've been doing a LOT of reading, and talking to Yahoo.

I received a very rude reply stating that my post wasn't going to be shown! I'm exhausted from trying to keep head of this phishing or pharming things that's going on in my computer. Scared to death in fact.

Thank a lot.

Maggie said, on October 6, 2007 10:06 PM:

I have had the same Yahoo address & password for ten years. I cannot log in nor can I change my password. I tried everything they suggest. I have a house for sale on "For Sale by Owner" and it is important I access my account. I also have receipts in my e-mail for bill I pay on line. If someone got into my mail, they might access some account numbers. Please help me. I even tried downloading Yahoo upgrade but it did not help. I received pics from family and had to use my ID and password to get to them-could this be the problem? I also deleted cookies when I cleaned my cache. Maybe I should not have done that?

Same problem here, very frustrating that I don't remember the zip code, which i am sure was a random string of numbers i put in for form's sake since i don't live in the U.S. and don't use zip code. Please, send a password reset link to the secondary email address of greenwatchjady@yahoo.com, I'm not asking for more help here, and am really hoping i filled in a secondary one. Thanks a lot!

me said, on December 21, 2007 4:01 PM:


I love all the idiots that post here expecting Santa to just email them the old & lost yahoo pass. Your accounts get hacked because people make big money from you, when you pay them to get it back.
And honestly, if you *really* have any important information, why do keep it on a free cheapy webmail???

niyoosha said, on December 25, 2007 6:14 PM:

kevin said, on December 29, 2007 3:03 PM:

OK Yahoo is messed up! 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

Quang Nhat said, on December 30, 2007 9:49 AM:

saviour said, on January 6, 2008 6:27 PM:

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
- provide your username
- if you can't provide the answer to your security questions, let them know you *do* remember your alternate email
- they will send you a reset password to your alternate email address
- open the email in your alternate email inbox and follow the instructions to reset your password

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.

Jay West said, on January 10, 2008 1:40 PM:

Like 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?

Jay West

Manoj said, on February 10, 2008 6:46 AM:

After 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.

BOB said, on February 11, 2008 1:20 PM:

Rachel Shekhtman said, on February 13, 2008 9:59 AM:

I 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.

Michael Washington said, on April 9, 2008 7:04 AM:

Hi Dave I changed my password on my yahoo account a year ago and I always use yahoo messenger to log on and not actually logging in on the yahoo web browser. 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.
When I upgrade to messenger 7.0 is there a way it can still have my password saved ( from my current player) because that's the only way I can get back into my yahoo. Password recovery question no longer works but more than likely I just out smarted my self with my answer to what my first car was which I would never actually write the care name but chassis code or engine code and it's not working.... HELP!!!!

siraj said, on April 13, 2008 2:45 AM:

Las said, on April 16, 2008 8:06 PM:

I am going through the whole process as we speak. 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.

Cortney said, on April 21, 2008 3:02 PM:

LOL 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
Mrs. Robinson

Varsinax said, on May 3, 2008 6:39 AM:

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.

Alex said, on May 5, 2008 10:29 AM:

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.

someone "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:

kasia korman said, on May 25, 2008 10:36 AM:

how do i find a lost password?

hacked off said, on May 26, 2008 5:58 PM:

I 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.

Anand said, on May 27, 2008 2:21 AM:

priyanka said, on June 16, 2008 6:37 AM:

hi Dave,

somtime back while iz using my orkut account i remember that i cliked on a link/URL that usualy says "click the below link to open the unlocked albums".i without knowing the ultimate result cliked the link that resulted to nothing and kept loading for long duration,i then simply considering it a virus closed the application.
After a couple of days i noticed a mail from mailor demon/failed delivery notification in my yahoo account mentioning that "invitation sent to manderjoshi@yahoo.com by me to join orkut has been failed".which actuly i never did,and it was a shocking surprise to note that sombody tried to send an invitation using my account when nobody except me knows the password of my yahoo account.since luckly the mail failed and i immidiatly changed all settings of my account like password,primary id ,erased all my contact info.etc.from my orkut account.
After few days i could see a friends request from his orkut account [mander joshi the same person] i did nothing but simply ignored coz at the back of my mind i had a thought that may be he has tried to hack my orkut profile,but to my surprise i could still see him sending scrap book entries in my yahoo id where i recieve all my notification form orkut,which actuly do not appear anywhere in my orkut scrap book. Im not understanding that when iv alrealy ignored him from recieving any further messages,scraps or friends requests from him how can it be possible that he still scribbling on my book, n when i check my book i could see nothing at all,till now iv recevied atleast 20 scrap book entries in my primary id yahoo,but not even a single one is visible in my profile anywhere,this problem is too complicated and evn serious im not getting what is the way out?has he created another profile using my yahoo i.d?its realy confusing .
If u could please help me out with this ill be greatly obliged coz both my yahoo as well as orkut account are too imp.for me n i dont want anyone to mess up with them...plz help
Note:i usualy use my gmail i.d to login to my orkut account but i recieve all my orkut notifications like friends request,scrap book entry etc in my yahoo account.

Ella said, on August 27, 2008 5:41 AM:

I came across this page when searching for answers to not being able to access my yahoo account after changing the password.
I was still logged in on another window and was scared to shut it down in fear of being locked out of my account forever.
In another window I tried to answer the questions to get my password reset and as most of you did falsified information including birthdate and zip/postal code in order to protect my intentity from being abused...5 years later I couldn't remember any of the fake dates/numbers.
Contacted yahoo customer care by email and gave all the info to them and even offered to show my license to whomever or give credit card info to verify I was who I said I was.
They quickly got back to me stating I didn't have the matching info and would not get it reset but was asked to try to remember what I originally wrote (or last updated to) and to try again....

Luckily for me the issue was I was stilled logged in on another window and so both the old and new password would not work.
Once I was eventually logged out the password I thought I changed it to actually worked!
So that may be a simple solution for some of you, but scary to think that if I am hacked I will never be able to get all of my emails, contacts, photos, calendar and any other valuable pieces of info we all leave in our free accounts.

Ben said, on September 8, 2008 8:57 PM:

Dave,

Most of the comments in this section are written in the same style as much of the spam I receive.

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?

Cheers,

Ben

Hi Dave!
I have the same problem. I remember my Yahoo ID lukaswong1st@yahoo.com. About two year ago my e-mail was compromise, I think it has been hacked. When I type the password that I usually use, I did not work. I think it might also because I told the costumer service my account and my password when I apply for at&t internet service because my internet did not work since. I called Yahoo AT&T but it does not help. I am very upset with their system. Thank you in advance Dave. I hope you will e-mail me back.

I've so many important information in my account.

Dave,
Why can I not access groups that I am invited to with this email id? When I sign in I am told that I need to choose a new name and when I get in I see "oops. There is nothing to see here" Why does yahoo not recognize my ID under this email?

Dear Dave,
I forgot my password and I was unable to reset it online inspite of providing the information required. Wrote to yahoo customer service many times , supplied all the necessary information like zip, DOB and everything , they still keep asking me to fax or mail the information . I am worried very much reading all the others comments what if they take all my information and never respond as they are asking for exact match , how will i remember everything that I had created over 8 years ago.Please I need your help, this has been a real nightmare.

Theresa said, on December 21, 2008 9:01 AM:

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.
I do rememeber the original birthday that I provided when I signed up in 1999. I have changed it several time to avoid people searching and finding me on yahoo. Please help me?? I'm a moderator for a group on yahoo and also I have a domain website through yahoo that I purchased and paid for through my pay pal account. I will provide you with my yahoo id.
Thank you very much

Ru said, on January 8, 2009 12:38 AM:

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

Hi Dave,

I have a very urgent problem....I think my husband is cheating on me behind. I installed messenger chat decoder on his PC and found his all wrong chats and the he accepted. However, I know there is one more id he been using for chat online but is not accepting that the id belongs to him. The chat decoder alos didnt show the chats from this id because he might have opted to unsave chat history. I know personal info of all his other accounts and for this unknown account I only know the secret answer and question but either zip /country I am missing .Thats the reason why I am not able to take help from writing to Yahoo customer care as well......

Can you please help me out ....and trust me it just very personal ..not to hack anyones account.. I am just concerned about my life

Hi DaveJi,

I just changed my password for the Yahoomail as a tech person had come to my house to repair my PC and he had seen the password stored in a notepad. 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.

It's been a while a long while sense I have been able to access my yahoo account maybe 5yr+ it's sillykidshore@yahoo.com the funny thing is I think i did this to myself by changing the required basic info and p.w. and just forgot everything. or maybe it was hacked i just can't remember. I contacted yahoo and my info didn't match up with my account. the only reason i want this p.w. is to access my old email account, you see in the past I transfered all my saved emails from one account to the yahoo account these saved emails literally mean the world to me. sigh. they are old love letters remnants of someone special who is no longer with me. Dave if you can help ....

Unknown Hacker said, on March 12, 2009 12:53 AM:

Alright People Check it out ive been cracking yahoo accounts for years and heres the thing once a hacker gets into your account they change your info as in zip code, name, location and so on they do this because u will not be able to request your new password for the id they usally change the alt e-mail so a new password wont be sent to you there isnt really anything you can do about it but make a new id yahoo wont give you anything because u dont have the right information for the account i know it sux but u guys need to make your passwords harder the most commonly way a hacker gets your password is running a list of yahoo users through a program called a cracker and running a list of common passwords on each id so yeah theres my comments if you got questions u can e-mail me but i doubt there is anything i can help you with your accounts are gone.. the best way to contact yahoo is to call em on the phone look the number up... Good Luck!

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

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?

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.

Dear Sir,
Yesterday I got a mail which seemed from Yahoo, saying that to continue you as our subscriber, you had to update, otherwise you will be deleted from the Yahoo subscription. The details to be submitted covered my e-mail address, my password (which had to be written completely), my country of stay and my date of birth, which I submitted and from that time I cannot open my Yahoo e-mail account. What should I do. Please reply me on my Company's mail address, as I cannot reach Yahoo mail. My office e-mail address is as below:

I don't want to loose my Yahoo e-mail facility, so please help me to recover it.

Gerard said, on May 19, 2009 8:22 AM:

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 HAVE A QUESTION, IS IT TRUE THAT I NEED TO UPGRADE MY ACCOUNT, I WANTED TO KNOW IF THAT EMAIL IS REAL OR NOT. ? I DON'T LIKE GIVING MY PASSWORD OUT.

Dave Taylor said, on May 27, 2009 5:09 PM:

Jody (and others). This is easy: NEVER SEND ANYONE YOUR PASSWORD regardless of how legit it appears. Online services will NEVER ask for it.

Laura W. said, on May 31, 2009 8:24 AM:

Found an e-mail for each of my Yahoo webmail accounts this a.m. asking due to system maintenance that I reply by confirming (providing in the message area) my e-mail address and password. I KNOW to not do this but was in an a.m. fog and like a lemming I did it. Their header said nothing other than Technical Support, WebMail Account. How MUCH trouble am I in? What can they access? What should I do? I'm hysterical!! Please help and THANKS!

Hi
I got a problem when trying to open my e-mail from 25th July
As I couldn't access I have changed my password & it send an e-mail to my other mail saying it''s done successfully.
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.

Rahul Sharma said, on January 23, 2010 5:56 PM:

Hello,

I was wondering if there is anyway of getting my old password back. 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!

ma. czarmine yu said, on May 23, 2010 1:42 AM:

I had this problem yesterday, May 22, 2010, for my personal yahoo account. For no reason, I was chatting in my yahoo messenger, it simply automatically logged out itself and when I try to signed in back, I get the message that I typed in an incorrect ID and/or incorrect password. How can this be happening that, I always checked the "Remember my ID & password"?
I'm fearful, that I can't recover this personal account of mine, I have all the addresses and other contacts of my other relatives abroad.

Please do help me.....I really need to get back my account.


I really do remember my ID and Password it's just that once i signed in, it says that the Id and password I entered are invalid.

bijaya said, on June 27, 2010 6:04 AM:

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?

MtSon said, on September 25, 2010 12:18 AM:

Lol. Yahoo sucks period. I had my wow info on the yahoo account my cod4 cod6 tf2 like 30 games cd keys and account info/passwords on my email and guess what. My account got hacked and well yahoo lets you change your Security Question date of birth and all of that stuff which DOES NOT help with security. So once your account gets hacked and you have important things on it like credit card # or anything your screwed because hackers can change every bit of personal info and make it there account and what can you do? nothing. So if you guys are mad at yahoo switch to G mail or hotmail. or something because Yahoo sucks at keeping your account safe

rodel quisado said, on September 29, 2010 10:51 PM:

Owen Myhill said, on November 1, 2010 12:10 AM:

Gday Dave,

Just got an interesting one today with regards to Yahoo. Was logged into my email, had a glitch with a video download from an email attachment from my old man, and now I cannot log in. Wierd thing is, when I go to reset my password, and I cannot get past the random image verification, even tried the audible number generator.

I went to try and create a new account with the same id, but it won't let me, so that should confirm the id hasn't been accidentally wiped from the system.

Any idea on what is going on or how to fix it?? There is no email address I can send a complaint to (that I can find anyway), nor a number I could call within Australia.

Cheers, Owen

Acheampong said, on March 17, 2011 6:11 AM:

i want to access my mail but the password i keyed in is rejected. i tried to be sure no caps was on however it still tells me it is wrong meanwhile i reset this password just this last monday 14th march, 2011 in the night say between 10pm to 11pm. Maybe because i keyed it in once to access the mail i forgot easily. please help me. one frustrating aspect of it is that i tried to reset the password but the system is demanding for where i spent my honeymoon as i opened the account in october 2009, meanwhile all i have writen the system has rejected it. please is there anyway i may be asked a different question so i can answer to save my id and important mails? please request is badly needed.

Kendell Jones said, on May 10, 2011 4:04 PM:

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...

When i used nimbuzz then yesterday it was work but today it say user block, why so it occur,and solve it plz

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

My e-mail hacked one week before, I have tried to change my password following the automated recovery system. Though whenever I tried to answer my secrete question it ordered me to wait for 24 hours. I have tried for more than ten days; so for how many additional days should I wait until I get access to my secrete question?
Moreover, I didn't put alternate e-mail when I first sign-up my yahoo mail

refuse to answer my request because no name or email id available. The letter that shows up is not mine

Caesar Wong said, on September 23, 2011 11:53 PM:

Wow. What an epic comments section. Can't believe people are still posting here so many years after the original post. It really says something about the critical flaw with Yahoo's ID system.

Here's my sob story with my Yahoo ID: a long time ago, I signed up for a Geocities account using "zzyss" (the same nickname I've been using everywhere for years). I don't remember clearly, but I don't think it was mandatory to provide any recovery information back then, or if it was, it was different to the current "birthday, country, zipcode" combination that's used now.

Then Yahoo acquired Geocities, and I don't know how or why, but they merged their namespaces. Ever since then, I've lost access to zzyss-AT-yahoo-DOTCOM because their password recovery facility is asking for info that I never provided. To the best of my knowledge, old IDs are never expired, quarantined or recycled. Yahoo support has pretty much said "sucked in" every few years when I could be bothered sending in an enquiry about it.

Considering how many services Yahoo IDs are linked to now (Flickr, Mail, etc.) woe be to you if you haven't gone in and provided the recovery details while you still have access to your account.

Rebecca said, on September 26, 2011 10:22 AM:

Hi Dave, I really hope you can help me with this issue. The other day someone hacked my yahoo account. I have been able to log in and changed my password. Whoever hacked my account added an alternate e-mail that is very similiar to my e-mail. They proceeded to send a "money scam" to everyone in my account before deleting my account. Now, I hear from friends via text or phone call, that when they reply-to an e-mail from my originial e-mail address, the "alternate" e-mail shows up in the reply to box. I have searched my options in my yahoo classi mail, but can't find any place where I can fix that. I have contacted yahoo customer service, but am worried that I won't even be able to get a message back from them. I have put my gmail address here, hoping that I will be able to hear back from you!

Wizwych said, on October 3, 2011 3:21 PM:

My yahoo accoun was Hacked 2 years ago now im feeling the pinch of it cos most of my older game passwords and so on are being sent to that email address when i request them. I tried to get the Yahoo Account Back but. The security questions i had previously requested had changed, along with my password. When I tried to get Yahoo to help I was confronted by the Yahbot Telling me that i should do things that i had done trillion times before.. By the way I still never got my Account back and too be honest i dont think Yahoo even care..

Balazs said, on October 6, 2011 11:21 AM:

Hello Dave,
My girlfriend one day to another, are unable to access yahoo mail. Password is not changed for some time. Securyti answer questions of can not remember, and no secondary e-mail address. Some chance to recover your password?

Al said, on October 7, 2011 12:50 AM:

I cannot log into Yahoo. I changed passwords and went through the process 5 separate times but when I return to sign in I get: "Invalid ID or password.Please try again using your full Yahoo! ID, and type the text you see in the picture"
However, let me guarantee that I entered the correct information. No matter what I enter the same information I received. I even re-registered a new account and went through the same process and I got back the same answer. It is frustrating because it is like talking to the wall. Yahoo does not solve the problem nor inform customers what is happening. I suppose this means they do not want new accounts and are attempting by attrition for existing ones to give up and go elsewhere.

hello sir help me please the hacker change all my log in info , cant recover my password please help me my email id that i want to recover is dipeshnoob@yahoo.co.uk please

YahooSucks said, on October 22, 2011 4:20 PM:

Yahoo is a worthless piece of sh**!

It will not even provide re-set passwords for it's long-term, loyal customers!

Sources say that Google is considering buying the manure heap known as Yahoo.

If it does -- then hopefully, perhaps Google will be able to reset passwords and forward them the the related email address (so that people can start using their Yahoo accounts again -- if they dare).

Hi Dave, i had my yahoo account since year 2000. My mail was hacked once some years ago and now again I cannot sign in. It is frustrating...I had some virus or hack I don't know but all my contacts were spammed with some mail I haven't sent - this happened two or three times and I erased all my contacts so that I won't bother them until I decide how to get rid of the spam... but all in vain - as soon I've done that I couldn't access my account .. I even waited for a couple of weeks if I have blocked the account with my trials... I really cannot remember what is the answer of the question for it was so long I have put it down, I don't know which question I have chosen but I can supply other info that only I know... please help I am not a computer geek at all - just a regular user

renee said, on May 4, 2012 3:03 AM:

My fiance has been missing for almost a week. The last he was seen was at his job on Sunday. They won't tell us anything else. We've contacted our local police precinct but so far they have not been much help. We have called hospitals and prisons to no avail. I have managed to get into an email address that is not used often and found activity on the 30th between a good friend of his but no activity since. We were trying to access his main account to see if there's been any activity there that may help us. His mother and I are going back to his job and to the police tomorrow to try and get more answers and more help. We are getting desperate. Is there any way you can contact me and assist in getting into his e-mail? It is a yahoo account. I know that the email he uses is linked to his phone as well as the secondary email that I was able to access, but again there hasn't been much activity. We are desperate and afraid! Please help!

mike said, on July 8, 2012 3:21 PM:

My password is being changed at least once a month making it impossible for me to get my mail without forming a new password. Would I be better off dumping my email address and creating a new one? Keep the old one for old friends? My account was hijacked about a two two and half months ago. And sent out phony emails to all of my friends. Do they have a worm in my commputer getting my new password evertime I change it? Could they have all of my secret information. If I started a new email would they have that information as well? Is there a way for me to check for a worm?

but I cannot remember the security questions and get the following error:

"Unsuccessful Login: Account Locked Temporarily. This account is temporarily locked for 12 hours because of security concerns. Please try signing in later or contact online Yahoo! Customer Care for further assistance"

The problem is, since I do not remember my answers, I still wont be able to answer the questions in 12 hours, but I need that account. Could you please help me? I have used it recently, so I can tell you a bit about the email traffic I had.. I might even remember the second security question, but not the first one..

Thank you for your help.the problem in email mahmood.sh30@yahoo.com

Hi Dave, I forgot my password!! Twice I went through the questions provided by Yahoo help and each time I was told that I would be on a 12-hr. lockout/hold. Today, I do not want to be told that I am on a 12-hr lockout/hold. How can I get help to have my forgotten password forwarded to me, or how to acquire a new password.
The sign-in page use to have a note at the bottom asking "Forgot your Password". Currently that statement is not there.
I use the computer at the public Library. I called a Help phone number and was told they couldn't help me because I used a public e-mail service.

What to do!!

Judith Falkins said, on February 22, 2013 9:20 AM:

Hi Dave, how to I get an answer from you. I am on a public Library computer.
