Additional Information
  • While these steps can be completed using most smartphone and tablet devices, we recommend making any changes to your account information with a desktop or laptop computer.
  • Your Yahoo! 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! mobile, etc.)
  • If you are a customer of one of our partners, please find their customer support contact information below:
