No limit. I have a habit of forgetting my Yahoo password because it insists on using a capital letter and i hate using caps in passwords. It also will not let me reuse an old one so its a bit of a pain. But as for resetting, I do not use any phone number thingy? I just tell it I want a reset and if I recall rightly, it sends a reset email to my alternate email.

Click on 'I cannot access my account' then 'I have forgot my password' - I am not going any further as I dont want to forget the damn thing - again!! There should be an alternative email option ??

yes, I see your point. I got the same. Which has not happened to me before. Strange one. They must have changed something? Did you set a mobile phone as a contact option? Thats what is showing on mine, but this time is shows my mobile, but not the other options? Weird? Try contacting yahoo directly?

Are you in Facebook? They take that sign in ?
