    My question is:

    Is there any way of getting back into my Yahoo account when I have forgotten the answer to my verification question AND when I also do not have a recovery email address?

    I do remember my user id and password though.

    I originally set up this account in England and when I returned to Singapore, I continued using it. Until, one day, all of a sudden, they started to demand that I answer my secret question.

    Unfortunately, back when I first set up my account, verification wasn't that big of a deal so I can no longer remember the random answer I picked for my secret question.

    you can redirect all mail from that account to another account by knowing only user and pass

    Goodbye account. I forgot my phone number and verification question and didn't get mine back after emails after emails from the customer support.

    I didn't open that account since i prefer Gmail, and forgot the recovery options. I only went back when i needed the receipt of a furniture i bought years ago.

    Didn't get my account back.

    Connect their customer support and they will give you back your account.

    I have both gmail & yahoo mail accounts.
    Knowing there are people around who still use Yahoo mail makes me feel relieved I'm not alone :blob_teary:

    No need to say sorry~ :blobmelt:

    I'm not too sure if Yahoo is joining up with Google or are just simply collaborating with them. What I do know is Yahoo users can open a Google account with OpenID and that you can link your google & yahoo accounts.

    Benefit gmail better. Yahoo is no longer relevant.
