  • Question

    Do I need a mobile number for a Yahoo! Mail account?

    Community Answer

    Yes, as an activation code will be sent via SMS to your phone.

  • Question

    What do I do if I can't get into my Yahoo account?

    Community Answer

    You can ask to reset your password. If you provided your phone number or an alternate email address when you set up your account, they will send you instructions.

  • Question

    How can I get my password to my Yahoo email account?

    Community Answer

    Use a phone conformation code, or a security code sent to a backup email address.

  • Question

    How do I set up a second Yahoo! Mail account?

    Community Answer

    You can't without using fraudulent info. You can, however, set one up through another mail service, such as Gmail. It can be good to have a backup through a different service anyway in case of outages with your primary.

    What if I don't have a mobile phone?

    Community Answer

    You can do it on a tablet or email.

  • Question

    Download the Yahoo app, then enter your username and password.

    Yes, but you probably shouldn't. Always using the same password could lead to someone hacking your account.
