A question about e-mail security?

How do i change my security question on my email acct ? Where can i choose another security question ?

• I would like to change my security question for my email account as whenever i change my password, someone else who knows the answer to my security question, simply uses this and then gains my new password again and can access my email account. I DONT want to change my username as i get lots of correspondence to my current email account. Please help me asap. Thanks in advance Alton

• Answer:

  Hello Alton, You had a very good question. I could not find anything on that so I contacted Yahoo and found that there is no way to change the security questions. You can change your password and other account information, but not your security questions. If you change your password, there is a chance you will be able to change the security questions, but am not sure. If you try this please let us know in the additional information for your question. Just located the information below. Think this will help solve your problem. How do I change my secret question and answer? If you would like to change or update your Password Question and Secret Answer, please send an email to: [email protected] For security reasons, we request that you send this information from the Yahoo! Mail account associated with the Password Question and Secret Answer. In the subject of the email, type: Password Question and Secret Answer In the text of the email, include: Your Yahoo! Mail ID.

The alternate (non-Yahoo!) email address listed for your Yahoo! ID. Your current Password Question and Secret Answer (exactly as you entered them at registration). Your new Password Question and Secret Answer. Please Note: The punctuation, spelling, and spacing of your new Secret Answer are important. We will copy the Secret Answer exactly as it appears in your email. Once we've received and verified the above information, we'll notify you that the change has been made.
