    How can I tell if I will be able to use my credit card number to recover my password?

    If you have used your Yahoo! Wallet to purchase services or products with your credit card, we may be able to verify your identity using that credit card. For example, you can recover your password with your credit card number if you have paid for any of the following Yahoo! services:

    • Yahoo! Personals
    • Yahoo! Music Unlimited
    • Yahoo! LAUNCHcast Plus
    • Yahoo! Fantasy Sports
    • Yahoo! Games All-Star Competition
    • Yahoo! Mail Plus
    • Yahoo! Real-Time Quotes
    • Yahoo! Research Reports
    • Yahoo! Classifieds
    • Yahoo! Domains
    • Yahoo! Merchant Solutions
    • Yahoo! Web Hosting
    • Yahoo! Yellow Pages
    • Yahoo! Voice
    • Yahoo! Local Featured Listings
    • Yahoo! Sports College Broadcast
    • Yahoo! Briefcase Storage
    • Yahoo! GeoCities
    • Yahoo! by Phone

    If you used a credit card for any of the following services, you will not be able to verify your identity using that credit card:

    • Yahoo! DSL Internet Access (Example: AT&T Yahoo! high speed internet or Verizon Yahoo! for DSL)
    • Yahoo! Dial Internet Access
    • Overture Search Advertising
    • Overture Site Match
    • Yahoo! Hot Jobs

    Note that, in most cases, you do not need to be an active premium services subscriber to verify your identity using your credit card number. The only requirement is that you should enter the same credit card number that you added to your Yahoo! Wallet in order to pay for products or services on Yahoo! in the past. If you have deleted the credit card from your Yahoo! Wallet, you will be unable to verify your identity using that credit card. In case you are not sure if you have used your credit card with Yahoo!, please select the “I have never used a credit card with Yahoo!” option.

    You should always ensure that you are on a legitimate Yahoo! site before entering any personal information, including your credit card number.
