Previously, I have lost my yahoo mail password some years ago, notwithstanding, I still receive lots of my mails there. My own problem is really getting frustrating. Someone needs to seriously help me. I have forgot my email password. I have gone through the normal steps to recover the password but the only option sent to me is a text message to my previous phone number and obviously that won't be helping me I lost the number and someone else has the number now. I even don't have the slightest idea of what alternate email address I would have used earlier.
Notwithstanding, I was never given the option of alternative email or security secret questions. Only a text message to my old number. Please how can this yahoo problem be fixed? What can I do now?
