What can you do with Yahoo Account?

Ymail Signup Requirements
For Ymail Signup, you need to have a laptop or mobile phone or tablet, or a Personal Computer.
You must have your own personal mobile number.
And internet connection in your electronic device.
Step to Create a Ymail Account
- First, make sure that your computer has internet access.
- For signing up for my Ymail Account, I am using Chrome Browser. You can use any other browsers; the steps will be the same.
- Head over to your internet browser, go to Yahoo’s official website, and click on the Sign-in on the top right corner of the page.
- Now, a sign in form will open on your window. There is a tab on the bottom of this form Sign Up beside “Don’t have an account?”. Click the link, and it will take you to Ymail singup Page. Your Sign-in from will look like this:
- Fill out the form on the screen with your First Name and Last Name and click on the email address. Yahoo will give you some unique username that you can choose for your email address, or you can use your own. The email address should be unique, the address you want might already be taken if so the form will render this message “A Yahoo account already exists with this email address.” Therefore you need to choose another email address.
The email address you choose will be your permanent email address, which you cannot change in the future. So, be careful while choosing your username and make it a unique one. - Now you need a password for accessing your email address. A password you choose needs to be a strong one else there is a high chance that your email account will be hacked. And don’t ever share your password with anyone else. Using different upper and lower case characters, numbers, and special characters can make your password unpredictable. For example, “28DATRqQzCtY5su” is a secure password that is too complicated for someone to guess.
If you find it difficult to remember, consider storing all your password to “KeePass 2”. It’s a free tool to manage and save all your passwords of different accounts. All you need is a master password to remember, to get access to all the unique passwords of different accounts. - Fill up the rest of the form detail, your date of birth, gender, and your contact number. Your contact number is used for account recovery if in case you lost or forgot your Ymail password. So consider adding your real phone number. If you don’t want to add your actual phone number, you could also get a virtual phone number.
A virtual phone number is just like an anonymous email address, which will act as a mask to your real number. Any messages or calls you get in a virtual number will be forwarded to your actual number, and a person calling or messaging will never know your real number.
- In the next step, you need to verify your phone number. For this, you can choose between Text Me an Account Key, or Call Me with a Verification Code to confirm your phone number associated with the Ymail account. I decide to get the code via the text, so here it is.
- Your Account Key may take some time to arrive. If you didn’t get one, you could again resend your code to your phone number after a while. Now enter the code that you got in the box to verify you have access to the phone and then click verify.
- The following message will render on your screen, click continue.
- Now, you will be redirected to Yahoo’s homepage with your Yahoo account logged in. You can Sign out clicking on your name on the top right corner of the page if you want. Or get access to the Ymail account by clicking Mail on the same corner.
That is how we do Ymail Signup. Now you will be able to access your Ymail Account from anywhere in the world unless you don’t have internet access. You can access your mail via mail.yahoo.com URL.
