Account password related issues were not as common a few years ago as it is now a day. With a majority of the users moving to the online space and creating multiple accounts on various online portals such online banking, online commerce, online education and so on, there has been a rapid increase in the number of password recovery request which has spawned up. And, to add to the criticality of such issues, customers get extremely anxious due to the fact that they lose access to their account. The solution to such issues are extremely simple and is facilitated from the Yahoo mail portal itself provided the user must have at least one of the active contact points (alternate email address or mobile number) registered to their Yahoo mail account. Therefore, it is always recommended for users to make sure that they have their contact points registered to the account so that they can recover their account by themselves and do not have to wait for the Yahoo customer support to assist them to do so.

In other cases when users do not have any active contact points in the account, they need to connect to the Yahoo password recovery team. The password recovery team first checks the identity of the user by asking him the keys to the hint question. Once the user provides the correct keys to the hint question, the customer support team enables the user to add any of their active contact point to their account which would then be used to recover their password.

A verification code would be sent to the uploaded contact point which needs to be used by the user to regain access to their account. Users, however, are recommended to change their password in the first login itself as these codes are system generated and pose a threat to the security level of the Yahoo account.

For reference purpose, customers can always refer to the Yahoo password recovery support portal for extensive and step wise documentation on the steps which need to be followed to recover the password from the Yahoo portal. Other than that, users are always free to connect to the customer support team of Yahoo via their support platforms which include the Yahoo customer service phone number, email support, live chat conversation as well as via the social forum which is hosted on social media. Customers can voice their opinion, share their feedback and post the queries on using the platform.
