What to Do When You Forgot Your Yahoo Alternative Address
When you create your Yahoo! account, Yahoo! will prompt you to enter an alternative email address. Typically, you would use this alternative email address to reset your password. However, if you have forgotten the alternative email address associated with your Yahoo! account, you can reset your password using the security questions you created during the Yahoo! account signup process. After resetting your password using the security questions, you can access your Yahoo! account information and find the alternate email address associated with your Yahoo! account.
