If you lose your Yahoo email password, there are three basic methods for you to recover access to your Yahoo
email account:
- Reset your Yahoo email password online
- Recover your stored Yahoo email password from your web browser
- Recover your stored Yahoo email password from the Microsoft Windows Registry
Reset your Yahoo Email Password
The easiest way to recover a lost Yahoo email password is to go to the
Yahoo! Sign-in Problems page.
To use this page, first enter your Date of Birth, Zip Code, and Country. This will verify your identity. Then, enter your Yahoo Email ID and Yahoo will email your Yahoo password to the e-mail account registered with that ID.
If you can't remember your Yahoo ID, enter the
email address that you utilized when you signed up for your Yahoo email account and Yahoo will send your ID to that email account.
If you no longer have access to either email account connected with your Yahoo ID, Yahoo will refuse to assist you.

Most Yahoo users allow their web browsers to store their Yahoo passwords. Each web browser stores the Yahoo password in a different manner.
The steps to recover these stored passwords is different for each web browser.
