Fix Problems Signing into your Yahoo Account

Password and Yahoo ID issues You forgot your password or Yahoo ID

Use the sign-in Helper to locate your Yahoo ID and regain access to your account by entering in your recovery mobile number or alternate email address.

If you know your Yahoo ID but need to reset your password, make sure to create a strong password once you're back in to your account

If your browser remembers passwords, you can also check your autofill settings to find your password.

If you forgot your Yahoo id

In case you are not able to recall your correct Yahoo id then simply take help from Sign-in Helper. Here you need your alternative email address or mobile number; Yahoo will send you link to refresh your account.

If you forgot your Password

When you don’t remember your Yahoo id password then you can easily reset it. Just click on Sign-in Helper and go for password recovery option.

When you deleted your browser history or cleared caches & cookies

Sometimes we use to delete browser history or clear caches & cookies then that browser couldn’t remember our Yahoo email credits; so we have to Sign-in once again with User ID and password.

Account Locked Temporarily

This is a security feature with your Yahoo mail account if try multiple times unsuccessful attempts then your account will be locked for security purpose. After 12 hours this security locked will be lifted. But you can easily regain access with the help of Yahoo Sign-in Helper.

If your Yahoo account is compromised

If you think that someone else is using your Yahoo account or changed your Yahoo account password then you should immediately reset your Yahoo account password. We also recommend increasing the security of your account from Yahoo account’s setting section.

Invalid ID or Password

If you see an "Invalid ID or Password" error when trying to sign into your Yahoo account, it means that the Yahoo ID or Password entered by you doesn’t match the record of Yahoo. In such case, you will need to look for the following:

"Caps Lock" or "Num Lock" keys: Make sure that you have not toggled any of these keys on your keyboard.

Web Browser Autofill Settings: If you have configured your web browser to remember your Yahoo Mail login credentials and you have recently changed it, you will need to update the password in the Autofill Settings of your browser.

Unsupported Browser: Using an unsupported browser to access your Yahoo account can also cause sign-in problems. Try switching to a supported and up-to-date web browser to access your Yahoo account.

Someone Changed the Password for your Account: The sign-in error can also occur when some might have hacked your account and changed the password for it. In such case, you can recover your password by resetting the password for it.

Signing in for the first time here?

If you are trying to log in from a program, device, or location which Yahoo hasn’t noticed you using before, you may be prompted to enter an Account Key (sent to either your registered email address or phone number) in order to verify you as the rightful owner of the account.

However, if the account verification information shown for your Yahoo account is outdated, unfortunately, due to security and privacy reasons, Yahoo will not be able to allow you to reclaim your Yahoo account until you prove yourself as the rightful owner. So, make sure to always keep your account recovery information up-to-date whenever you change your email address or phone number.
