Steps to recover hacked Yahoo mail account
Method 1: when can you access your account
If you can access your Yahoo email account, you can
simply change your account password. This is how to do it:
Log into your Yahoo email account. Hover over your
profile picture in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. Select the "Account Information" option.
This will take you to your profile account.
3. Select the second option "Account Security"
on the left located just below the "Personal Information" tab.
4. On the "Account Security" page, select
"Change Password".
5. On the next screen, you will be asked to enter a
captcha. After entering the captcha, click "Continue".
6. Now, you can set your new password. Enter a strong
password and click "Continue".
7. When you confirm your new password, you will be
directed to the account review page. On this page, you can add more recovery
options. Confirm when done.
8. Congratulations, you are back in full control of your
account.
Method 2: when you can't access your account
If you cannot access your account by entering your user
ID and password, this means that someone has changed your password. In such
case, you can get access by following these steps:
Go to the login page and enter your email ID that you use
to log into your Yahoo! email account. After logging in, click the
"Next" button.
On this page, you will be prompted to enter a password,
but since your password does not work, click "I forgot my password".
This will take you to a page where you will have the option to receive an
activation key on your phone or email ID. The phone number and email ID will be
what you would have provided as a retrieval option during registration.
Enter the password received on the next screen and
confirm.
On the next screen, you can click "Continue" or
you can click "Create a new password."
By clicking Continue, you will be redirected to review
your account information, where you can add an alternate number or email ID for
easy recovery of your account in the future if it is hacked or blocked.
So, these are the two methods that can help you to recover
hacked Yahoo email account quickly. To make your Yahoo mail account
more secure, add two-step verification on the account security page of your
account information. By enabling this feature, a security code will be sent
when you try to log into your Yahoo account from a new device.
