Settings In Yahoo! Email
And How To Change Them

Yahoo! Mail has many set up options. You can update the information you gave during your initial registration (such as language, password; and how often you are prompted for your password, alternate email address, etc.), as well as personally configure many special features in your Yahoo! Mail account.

If you would like to update the information you gave when registering, please do the following:

1. Log in to your Yahoo! Mail account
2. Click the "Options" link on the left-hand navigation bar
3. Click the "Account Information" link on the right. Your browser will then display the Account Information page where you can view your current Yahoo! ID Card.
4. Click the "Edit" button next to the section you would like to edit
5. When you have finished updating your information, click the "Finished" button to put your changes into effect

Please note that, for security reasons, it is not possible to modify the birth date you provided when registering.
