You have reached the maximum number of saved articles. Your oldest saved article will be replaced with the new one.

  1. Click here, and sign in with your Yahoo! ID and password.
  2. Enter your current password in the first box.
  3. Enter your new password (as you would like it to be) in the second box.
  4. Confirm your new password in the third box.

Your Yahoo! password will always apply to your entire Yahoo! account. This means that it will be valid not only for Yahoo! Mail, but also for Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Chat, My Yahoo!, Yahoo! Finance, and all of Yahoo!'s other personalised services.

Please Note: To better protect your account, make sure that your password is memorable for you but difficult for others to guess. Never use the same password that you have used in the past, and do not share your password with anyone. For security purposes, your new password must be a minimum of six characters long. A good password contains a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters (remember that your password is case sensitive) and numbers.

For additional information on choosing a strong password, please visit the Yahoo! Security Center.
