This article explains how to change or reset the password on your Yahoo! account.

To change the password on your Yahoo! account:

1. Go to your Yahoo! Account's Information page.
2. Enter the Yahoo! ID and password credentials for the account you're changing.
   Note: For enhanced security, you will be asked to sign into your account again if you are already signed in.
3. Once signed in, select Change your password, located below "Sign-In and Security."
   Note: You may experience fewer account security issues if you utilize a strong password. See our help article with tips for creating a strong, secure password to learn more.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new password.
5. Click Save to submit and confirm your password changes.

For a complete walkthrough of these steps, please check out our video tutorial below which also outlines tips for creating a strong, secure password.

Remember, your password always applies to your entire Yahoo! account, meaning that a change to your password will update it for all of the Yahoo! services used with that account (Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Mobile, etc.)
