Hacking is a serious problem and with the development of technology, hacks are also increasing. All your social media accounts are always at risk of being hacked if you don’t secure them properly. This norm also applies to your Yahoo account, which you can illegally access if you don’t pay enough attention to its security. If you are also feeling stressed about having your Yahoo account hacked, don’t worry because there is a solution to this problem.
Recover Yahoo account via desktop
To recover your Yahoo account through the desktop website, you need to follow these steps:
- Using any browser, go to the official Yahoo website and click ‘Sign In’.
2. On the next page, click ‘Login problems’ at the bottom of the login section.
3. You will then be asked to enter your recovery phone number or email address. This is the most important step to regain access to your Yahoo account.
4. If you have entered your phone number, you will be asked ‘Do you have access to this phone?’ press ‘Yes, send me verification code’.
5. Enter the code you received and click ‘Check’.
6. If you have more than one Yahoo account, you will be prompted to choose one to reset your password.
7. You can then set a new password for your Yahoo account so you can access it again.
You must follow the same procedure if you are using a secondary recovery email address.
Recover Yahoo account via mobile
- Open the Yahoo app on your phone and tap the Yahoo mail icon displayed on the left side of the screen.
- Then tap “Are you having trouble signing in?” and on the next page you will find several recovery options.
- Enter the phone number or email address associated with your Yahoo account.
- If you have already entered your email address, press ‘Continue’ and click ‘Yes, send me SMS verification code’.
- Enter the verification code in the box provided and click ‘Confirm’.
- Select the account you want to recover if you have multiple Yahoo accounts.
- You will then automatically have access to your hacked Yahoo account.
But in case the hacker has changed the recovery information along with the password, recovering the Yahoo account is almost impossible because then you will not be able to confirm that you are the real owner of the account.
Tips to protect your Yahoo account from hackers
- Always use a strong and unique password to lock your account with special characters, numbers, etc.
- Never share your passwords and other logins, even with people you trust.
