A friend asked me how to change the password in Yahoo Mail?

I really didn't know how to find anything in Yahoo Mail with regard to changing her password. She has a suspicion that the person who helped her set up her Yahoo Account is reading her mail since he is the one who set up the password, and knows how to access her Yahoo Email account. I'd like to help, but I haven't a clue. Thought I'd ask the experts.

    1.Log in to your Yahoo! Mail account.

    2. Click "My Account" at the top of the page, near the middle, where you see "Welcome, yourname." It's between "Sign Out" and "Switch Back."

    3. Enter your password and click "Continue."

    4. Click the Change Password link, located near the top of this page.

    5. Enter your Current Password in the space provided.

    6. Type your New Password.

    Note: Passwords are case sensitive (so PASSWORD, PaSsWoRd, and password are not the same).

    7.Confirm your New Password by typing it again. A strong password contains a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.

    8.Click the "Save" button to put your new password into effect.

    Yahoo does not deliver e mail asking human beings to alter their passwords. The account replaced into hacked and you may desire to tell Yahoo what has got here about. There must be the thank you to touch them with out signing in. i'm not sure.
