    1. You'll have to create a new account. The current one you have now can't be changed because of security reasons. Go do that here: https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?

    Conversely, you can create an extra email address under your current account by going here: http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias

    2. Go here: https://edit.yahoo.com/config/change_pw?

    Sign in with your current password and click Sign In. You will be taken to the Account Information page. Then after clicking the Change Password link at the top of the page, do the following:

    1. Enter in your current password in the first box

    2. After coming up with a new password, enter it in the second box

    3. Re-enter the new password in the third box for verification purposes

    4. Click Save when you're done

    Hope this helps.

    Type your new password, then confirm your new password.
