Verify Your Identity:
Recovery Phone Number or Email: Yahoo will send a verification code to your recovery phone number or email address. Enter the code to verify your identity.
Security Questions: If you have set up security questions, you may be asked to answer them.
Reset Your Password: Once your identity is verified, you can reset your password.

Additional Tips
Update Recovery Information: After regaining access, ensure that your recovery email and phone number are up to date to avoid future issues.
Enable Two-Step Verification: For added security, enable two-step verification in your account settings.
Avoiding Scams
Official Yahoo Channels: Only use official Yahoo channels for account recovery. Be wary of third-party services claiming to unlock your account for a fee.
