Hi............................

Are your friends asking you for your Yahoo ID? Are you unsure about what the hell do they want from you? If so read this comprehensive step-by-step tutorial on how you can get your very own Yahoo ID and brag about it to your wife :D

First of all you need to get Yahoo! Messenger. If you don't have it yet check out this tutorial:

Now, launch Yahoo Messenger and press the "Get a Yahoo! ID" button so we can start the registration process.

In this window you need enter your personal data. After you do that, (oh yeah, you guessed it) just click that next button.

Now you have to enter your desired Yahoo ID (the one your friends want to know, remember?) and a password at least six characters long.

As this window says you have to pay attention to what you enter here. If you forget your password, this information is going to be important, because Yahoo! will ask you for it, so he can know that it's really you.

Be sure that the question you choose here isn't a very well known information about yourself, or you may end up having unwanted people reading your offline messages and even your mails.

You can see that Yahoo offers to create an email address with your ID. If you already have an email address, and another one would just be too much, uncheck this option and press the next button.

We're almost there....enter the text shown in the image. This is just a way Yahoo protects itself against robots registering IDs automatically.

If your desired ID is already taken try something else (maybe with a number following it ex: barry_white2006), and repeat the last 2 steps until you succeed.

If you receive a message which says: "The connection to your yahoo account can not be established at this time", don't worry. Just check your mail inbox and you'll see a mail from Yahoo asking you to verify your account.

Click on the link in your mail which will guide you onto a secure Yahoo webpage. Enter your password and then press the verify button.

That's it. You are done. Now you can log onto your account by opening Yahoo Messenger and signing in with your ID and password.

Happy Chatting!

This is helpful to you................

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Hi jannie_tromp,

Depends on which username and password you are entering ,

for e.g.

If you are using a yahoo user id and password for viewing videos in youtube, it won't work, but there is an option to log in using google account , so if you do have one you can give it a try.

I would recommend you to follow the below steps ...

1. Create a new youtube account from the youtube website by clicking on register option.
2. You will get a confirmation email from youtube to the email id that you have specified.
3. Click on the confirmation link and then you have your account activated.
4. Use this new account user id and password to log in to youtube next time...:)

Hope this helps ...:)

1 Please try the password in both Upper & Lower case carefully.
2 Even after that if the problem is there, then the password had been chanced by you. If you looged on and went somebody can change it.
3 Try forgot password option and get help from yahoo.
4 Failing that you will have to have a new user ID.

double click icon of yahoo messenger you will see sign id and password type there click signin

Your not able to log onto messenger but your able to go to your yahoo mail and log in and check it? I would just try going and downloading and reinstalling messenger if that helps. If its something on yahoos side.

• In the Yahoo Log-in form, Click Forgot your id or password?
• A message appears "What's the problem you are experiencing?"
• Click the option "I forgot my password" then Click Next button.
• (Verify your identity) Enter your Yahoo ID and the code shown. Click Next button.
• Enter your Account's alternate email address.

You're one step away from a new password

Please check the message sent to your email to reset your password.
