I lost my password for Yahoo.?
The password I have saved on my browser doesn't work. I don't remember the answers to the security questions because I entered them years ago. My phone number on the account hasn't kept up with my actual one, so I can't send a text. Is there any way to recover the e-mail?
I'm on someone else's account. I thought it would be obvious enough that I wouldn't need to state that.

Without a working phone number or alternate e-mail address already registered to your account, Yahoo has no way to contact you to send a password-change link. There is no way at all to recover your account.

To maintain account security and ensure that the actual owner of an account is the only person that can access the account, we cannot make exceptions to our password/account recovery policies. The following help article provides some resources, but I must indicate that if you cannot recall any of the account recovery details, it will be unlikely that the account will be restored.

We recommend that you write down the secret questions and answers, DOB, and alternate communication channels in the future so that you have a point of reference for such occasions.
Regards.
