| Information on using Yahoo! |
Forgot Your Password?
If you forget your password you can go here
and by answering the security questions
Yahoo! will change the password on your account and tell you what
it now is.
Changing Your Security Questions
If, for some reason, you feel the need to change the security
question for your account just follow these steps.
To update your Password Question/Secret Answer, please forward the
following information to:
my-login-request@yahoo-inc.com
- Yahoo! ID
- ZIP or Postal Code you provided during registration (Please
also include country)
- Date of birth you provided during registration (mm-dd-yr)
- Your current Password Question and Secret Answer
- Your requested Password Question and Secret Answer
- Alternate email address that we currently have on record for
you, if applicable.
The punctuation, spelling, and spacing of your new Secret Answer
is very important.
Yahoo will copy the Secret Answer exactly as it appears in your
email.
Account Hacking
Hacking a Yahoo! account (or cracking) is not as easy as some
people make out.
Yahoo! has patched nearly all it's login servers so cracking is
nigh on impossible.
But to make sure your account is better protected here are some
ideas
- Don't make your security question obvious
- Don't post your date of birth anywhere online
- Don't use single words for your password (ie. timothy, metro,
sesame)
- Use a combination of letters and numbers for your password (ie.
1z2x3c, t1m0thy, )
