And Steve Gillmor forgot his Yahoo account password

Ahh, Steve Gillmor (who forgot Yahoo’s password, among other things) do you have any idea how many times I’ve forgotten my Yahoo password? Too many. Just today it is asking me to do something to start getting the Videoblog Mailing List emails working again. Sigh. And people wonder why Yahoo doesn’t have a better brand name when compared to Google.

Funny, I’ve never forgotten my Google password (even for things like Gmail). Look into it Yahoo and figure out why that is. There’s a reason: Yahoo forces its own passwords on me by default and I always forget them.

    I have forgotten the exact answer that i submitted to the yahoo security question. Question was WHERE DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE? instead of one word answer i typed a sentence and I do not remember the exact wording i used at that time. Will you help me to resolve and help me to open my yahoo id for which I am ready to bear all compensation to you.

    Hi All

    I’ve read the comments here and I see some people ask for password help.

    Looks like someone here can recover passwords, atleast alot of people here thinks so!

    I am using opera but I had to reinstall my xp, before that I tried to save my browser settings, but without luck, it forgot all my passwords and so did I

    For now, I only need one password for a Yahoo! mail account that I have.

    Regards.
