Email services have transformed drastically over the years. Features of sending and receiving the email to and from contacts have become safer, simpler, and more compatible than ever. But, the problem of forgetting passwords is still as it is. Even today a large number of people still forget the password of their email accounts. More specifically, long and difficult passwords tend to be forgotten. That's why Yahoo has put in place a simple process to change the forgotten Yahoo password. Just to ensure the impenetrable security of the Yahoo email users, like many other email service providers, Yahoo has also made mandatory the use of registered and recovery email id and phone numbers. If you have access to them, you can follow the steps in the order I have laid them out for you. Otherwise, feel free to contact Yahoo customer service.
Can I change my Yahoo Mail password on my mobile phone?
Yes, you can change your Yahoo password on your phone with ease of mind with just a few simple taps on your phone. But, before you start the Yahoo password changing process let me clear one thing. There are two ways to change the Yahoo password. One is to just tap on the forgotten password tab and follow the onscreen instructions and the second is to navigate through the setting button available on the top left corner of your Yahoo mobile application.
What method you should use depends on why you want to change your Yahoo password. In case if you have forgotten your Yahoo password then you can adopt the first method of password changing.
