    You will need to provide three pieces of information so Yahoo can confirm your identity: your birthday, your ZIP or postal code, your country code (at the time you created your Yahoo! account or when you last updated it) AND your alternate email address or mobile phone number. Note: You must still have access to this alternate email address. Of course, you also need to remember the answers to the secret questions. Check the Spam folder if the mail is not in your alternate e-mail Inbox.

    *** Be sure to provide the same information you gave the last time you registered for a new Yahoo! ID or password or the last time you updated your account.

    If you have forgotten both the password and secret question answers, go to this page:

    https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot?done=h%E2%80%A6

    Click on the link and follow the prompts. You will need the Zip/postal code, Date Of Birth AND an Alternative Email address or mobile phone number when you registered or last edited these details ...

    Then, change both password and secret questions to ones you can remember. A strong password should be more than 12 characters with mixed symbols - use a phrase or sentence you can remember, and make substitutions with numbers, punctuation and special symbols. Invent your own secret questions and answers - Yahoo allows you to do that so you can remember them. Be sure you have an alternate e-mail address listed too as well as a mobile phone number - just in case.
