Yahoo! strongly recommends that you change your Yahoo! login password if your Yahoo! account has been compromised. We suspect that the people who compromise the security of Yahoo! accounts will use them to send spam. These unwanted messages can be sent to the contacts saved in your Yahoo! account services: Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Mail, and Yahoo! Pulse.

To change your password now, follow these instructions:

1. Click the Change Password button below these instructions.
   
   You will be asked to sign in if you are not already. The Change your Yahoo! Password dialog opens.
   
   
2. Type your current password in the first box.
3. Type your new password in the second box.
4. Type your new password again in the third box.
5. Click Save.

Please write your password down, and keep it in a safe place for later reference. Many people forget new passwords when they change them.
