When you create a Yahoo! account, you are given access to a wide array of Yahoo! products and services. We use information you provide us to customize the content and advertising you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, and in other ways as described within our Privacy Policy. Accurate information is important in case you ever forget your Yahoo! ID or password (to edit this information, click here). We need to confirm your identity using the birthday, ZIP or postal code, and country that you provided during registration or when you last updated your account.

When we've confirmed your identity, we'll send your ID to the alternate (non-Yahoo!) email address listed on your account. If you need a new password, you can choose to either have your new password displayed on the page by answering your "Challenge Question," or you can have your new password sent to your alternate email address.

If you have entered any of this information incorrectly or have forgotten what you entered, we won’t be able to remind you of your ID or send you a new password.

We provide Account Information links throughout our sites to allow you to change or update this information at any time.

Please Note: You cannot edit or change your birthday or "Challenge Question and Secret Answer" online.
