Yahoo! Account privacy and security is an important part of Yahoo! that we take very seriously. By having the most up to date contact information, unauthorized password changes become more difficult. In addition, should you require login in assistance in the future this process will be much easier.

For these reasons we strongly recommend adding a mobile number and alternate email address, however these fields are not required.

By adding an alternate contact email address or a mobile number, you will receive our message Alerts whenever any changes have been made to your account. If you do not have secondary email address or do not want to use your mobile number, you can bypass these fields and choose 2 new Secret Question and Answers instead.
