Can you change yahoo mail account name

Yes, you can change your Yahoo Mail account name, but it's not a straightforward process. Here are the steps to follow:

Note: Before making any changes, make sure you have a valid Yahoo account and are logged in.

Method 1: Change your display name

1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Click on your profile picture or avatar in the top right corner of the page.
3. Click on "Account Info" from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the "Account" section.
5. Click on "Edit" next to "Display name".
6. Enter your new display name and click "Save".

Method 2: Change your username (not recommended)

Warning: Changing your username will affect all your account settings, including your email address, and may cause issues with your account. It's recommended to use Method 1 instead.

1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
2. Click on your profile picture or avatar in the top right corner of the page.
3. Click on "Account Info" from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the "Account" section.
5. Click on "Edit" next to "Username".
6. Enter your new username and click "Save".
7. Confirm that you want to change your username by clicking "Yes" in the pop-up window.

After changing your account name:

• Your email address will remain the same, but your display name will be updated.
• Any existing contacts or subscriptions will still recognize your old display name.
• If you've set up two-factor authentication, you may need to re-configure it with your new display name.

Remember to update any external services or applications that use your Yahoo Mail account, such as calendar or contact apps, to reflect the new display name.

If you encounter any issues or have trouble changing your account name, you can contact Yahoo's customer support for assistance.
