How do you transfer info from one account to another in Yahoo?

Transfer contacts from 1 yahoo ID to another?

• I have lost my security info and forgotten both my password and alternate email address. Yahoo automatically logs me in but if I want to upgrade to the latest yahoo version I will have to log out and lose that account. How can I transfer contacts from my old account to a new one without using cracks. Can it be done? I keep reading that you can export your contacts but I cant find where you can do that. Any help would go a long way. cheers
