How to recover deleted yahoo mail account
The frustration of accidentally deleting a Yahoo mail account! Don't worry, I'm here to help you recover it. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you recover your deleted Yahoo mail account:
Before you start:
- Make sure you have a valid recovery email address associated with your Yahoo account. If you don't have one, you won't be able to recover your account.
- Be prepared to provide identification and verification information to prove you're the account owner.
Method 1: Recovery through Yahoo's Account Recovery Process
- Go to the Yahoo Account Recovery page (https://login.yahoo.com/account/recover).
- Enter your email address (the one you want to recover) and click "Next".
- Follow the prompts to answer security questions and verify your identity.
- If you're unable to answer the security questions, you may be asked to provide additional information, such as your birthdate, phone number, or address.
- Once you've completed the verification process, you'll be asked to create a new password for your account.
Method 2: Recovery through Yahoo's Customer Support
- Go to Yahoo's Customer Support page (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2318.html).
- Click on "Contact Us" and select "Account Recovery" as the reason for contacting support.
- Fill out the form with your account information, including your email address, and a brief description of the issue.
- A Yahoo representative will review your request and contact you via email or phone to verify your identity and assist with the recovery process.
Additional Tips:
- If you're unable to recover your account, you may want to try contacting Yahoo's customer support team via phone or live chat.
- Be cautious when using public computers or public networks to access your Yahoo account, as this can increase the risk of account compromise.
- Consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your account.
Important:
- Yahoo has a 30-day window to recover deleted accounts. If it's been more than 30 days since you deleted your account, it's unlikely that you'll be able to recover it.
- Yahoo may request additional information or verification steps to ensure the account is being recovered by the legitimate owner.
I hope these steps help you recover your deleted Yahoo mail account!
