If you can't remember your security question answers and are having problems logging into your Yahoo account:

• Options for Recovering Accounts:
Other Email Address: If you set up your Yahoo account using a different email address, use that address to get a verification code and change your password.
Phone Number Recovery: To get back into your account if you linked a phone number to it, send a text message or give a call to request a verification code.
Yahoo Security Question Recovery Form: Please complete this form if none of the aforementioned methods work. In order to confirm your identity, this form collects data about your account and usage patterns. Give thorough and precise responses to the questions.

• Speak with Yahoo Support at:
If none of the aforementioned methods work, think about contacting Yahoo customer service directly. Depending on your particular circumstance, they might help you reset your password or offer you additional assistance.
Even if you've forgotten the answers to your security questions, you can still potentially get back into your Yahoo account by using these steps.

Your comments and feedback are highly appreciated.
