Are you receiving these “Invalid ID or password please try again using your full Yahoo ID” and “This ID is not yet taken are you trying to register for a new account” error messages when trying to access your Yahoo email account? Because it would not let you sign in under your assumed username and password, does not necessarily mean you have to try to guess your Yahoo identification or password. You can use this online Yahoo password helper tool to try to obtain your last Yahoo identification or password.
You can follow these instructions in the uniform resource locator web page provided below. You will want to click on "You forgot your password or Yahoo ID" to expand those instructions. You can read over Yahoo email support article pertaining to fixing problems trying to sign in to your Yahoo email account.
Also, you could speak to a live support agent by purchasing a Yahoo Account Professional subscription. You can find out more information below or call this toll free telephone number 1-800-293-5568 to order it.
You may want to clear your computers' web browser cache and cookies first, before you try out some other options. If clearing your web browser cache and cookies does not resolve your issue, there are multiple ways to retrieve your Yahoo email account information. The first option requires you to enter your Yahoo identification.
Depending on how you configured your Yahoo email account, in case you forget your password, you will be prompted to reset your password with an email message. This option is useful if you know your Yahoo identification, but have forgotten your password. The second option that is available, if you have forgotten your Yahoo identification is that you will be asked to enter in your alternative email address or mobile telephone number.
Finally, the third option that is available if you think that your Yahoo account has been compromised. You will need to know your Yahoo identification and will be asked to enter it in. Hopefully, one of these three options will help you to access your Yahoo email account again.
UPDATE: 06/11/2018
I get quite a few individuals asking for help with their lost Yahoo email account credentials. I do not knowingly help hackers or those trying to circument someone elses Yahoo email account security. Also, my website AnetComputers.com which has quite a bit of FREE information, has paid for services as well.
I have added quite a bit of additional information to this blog post, with some information as an information technology technician. Yahoo corporation tends to change their password reset tool every few years. As of the time of this update, there are three pieces of information, that you can use to potentially recover your Yahoo email account identification credentials.
- Sign in Email Address
- Mobile Telephone Number
- Recovery Email Address
You basically have three chances or three pieces of information that can help you obtain your lost Yahoo email identification. You will need access to your recovery telephone number and or recovery email address. If you no longer have access to your recovery telephone number or email address, then you will not be able to obtain your Yahoo identification credential that you use to login with.
Back in the day Yahoo corporation did not allow you to sign in with a mobile telephone number. Now at least you can sign in with either your Yahoo email identification or mobile telephone number. An example would be johndoe or 1234567890.
You do not need to enter in your full Yahoo email address at sign in. For example, you only need to enter in johndoe not johndoe@yahoo.com. One of these three pieces of information is necessary to use the Yahoo email helper tool above.
- Sign in Email Address or Mobile Telephone Number
- Recovery Telephone Number
- Recovery Email Address
If you cannot proceed with that Yahoo email helper tool, then you may want to read through this online Yahoo account help article. You can choose option number eight “Fix problems signing in to your Yahoo account”. Another option is to try a different web browser or even a different computer.
If you do not know your Yahoo email account identification then refer to option number eight above. If you know your Yahoo account identification but forgot your password, you might able to reset it using option number two from the uniform resource locator web page link above, “Change or reset your Yahoo password”. You have a better chance of accessing your Yahoo email account if at the very least you know your Yahoo identification credential.
If you are able to now access your Yahoo email account, you might want to verify and or change your recovery phone telephone number and recovery email address. You will want to make certain that you still have access to either your recovery telephone number or recovery email address. The next time that you forget or lose your Yahoo email password then you can potentially quickly access your account with your recovery telephone number or recovery email address.
You would refer to option number four “Add or remove an account recovery method”, with the uniform resource locator web page link above. You will receive a web page link either with your recovery telephone number or recovery email address, allowing you to recover your Yahoo email account. Also, you might want to make sure that you still have access to your mobile telephone number that you use to sign in with.
Taking these precautionary steps can potentially save you from losing access to your Yahoo email account. If you change your mobile telephone number, then do not forget to update your mobile telephone number that you use to sign in to your Yahoo email account. Finally, Yahoo corporation tends to change their sign in process, so these tips may change in the future.
AnetComputers.com does not knowingly help out those that want to hack into someone else’s Yahoo email account. If you browsed here looking for information that you could use to circumvent someone else’s security, you browsed to the wrong website. I now only support email password issues through my paid services.
I do not provide free support to those seeking help accessing their Yahoo email account. This reduces the potential for corrupt individuals in society that would use my help to circumvent someone else’s email account security.
