Recovering the password to your Yahoo mail account is not that difficult, provided you had linked your phone number and email address as recovery options. In the event, when you are not in a position to use the phone number, it makes sense to utilize the email.
The recovery process involved ( using alternate email address) is as follows: -
1. Open your browser and go to Yahoo.com.
2. Now, click on Sign-in.
3. Enter your Yahoo mail address and hit the Next button.
4. Since you don't remember the password, click on -I forgot the password button.
5. You will now be offered the recovery options. In the first lot, you will be asked - Do you have access to this phone number. As you don't, make sure to click- I don't have access to this phone.
6. In the next step, you will be asked - Do you have access to this email. If yes, click - Send me an Account Key.
7. Open the email address linked to account and check for any Account key.
8. If you have received the account key, enter the same in the relevant box and hit the verify button.
9. Once the code is verified, you will be redirected to a new page, wherein you are required to enter the new password twice.
10. Follow the instructions and click Save.
When you have completed the procedure, it will then present you with an opportunity to recover Yahoo mail password, without having the need for a phone number.
