How to change your Yahoo password on desktop and mobile

Updating your Yahoo account password is very easy. Here’s instructions on how to do it on a desktop PC or mobile device.

One of the best ways to keep your many email inboxes safe and secure is by frequently changing your password. While this may sound inconsequential, periodic login updates end up being one of the biggest deterrents against hackers and other malcontents. If Yahoo is your email platform of choice, we’ve put together this guide to teach you how to update your account password in just a few simple steps.

Step 1: Log into your Yahoo account security page as you would normally.

Step 3: Enter your new password twice and click Continue. Make sure your password is secure and not easily guessed. Using the word “password” (yes, really) or your birthday is too easy, and you’re more likely to get hacked. Check out our advice on how to craft a great password if you need to beef up your password security.

Step 1: Depending on which mobile app you’re using, either select your profile in the top-left corner or select the Menu icon, which looks like three lines stacked on top of each other.

Step 2: Select Account Info. (Yahoo Mail app users may need to select Manage Accounts.)

Step 3: Choose Security Settings.

Step 4: Enter the security code for your phone.

Step 5: Select Change Password.

Step 6: Choose I Would Rather Change My Password.

Step 7: Type in your new password twice to confirm, then select Continue.

You’ve now reset your Yahoo account password. Here’s another security tip: Rather than rely on your own memory to remember your new password, we suggest that you log the password in a password manager — LastPass and 1Password are two great options. That way, if you forget your new password, you won’t have to keep guessing at it to log in and you can avoid getting locked out of your account, having to troubleshoot your way back in, or having to create an entirely new password again.

Apple has unveiled a new iMac and a 14-inch MacBook Pro, both powered by its new baseline M6 chip. If you’ve been eyeing either device, now is the time to act, as entry-level configurations are becoming harder to get with each product launch.

The devices will be open for pre-order Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 10:10 AM PT. Meanwhile, deliveries and store stock will arrive on Friday, November 6. 

If you make videos, edit photos, or produce music on your Mac, Apple has some good news for you. The company has announced a major update to Apple Creator Studio, packed with new effects and smarter tools. It will arrive on the App Store in November as a free update for existing subscribers.

How does it make video editing easier?

Apple just launched a new entry-level configuration of the 14-inch MacBook Pro.
