I need to reset my Yahoo password

I can not get in with correct email on file. : (

Short summary:

  1. Go to https://login.yahoo.com/forgot
  2. Enter your email address associated with your Yahoo account.
  3. Click "Continue".
  4. If you have access to the email address, click "Yes, send me an Account Key" to receive an account key to your email address. If you don't have access to the email address, click "I don't have access to this email address".
  5. Follow the instructions given in the Sign-in Helper. If you clicked "Yes, send me an Account Key", enter the account key you received and click "Verify". If you clicked "I don't have access to this email address", provide an alternate email address or phone number that you have access to.
  6. Once you verify your account ownership, you will be prompted to create a new password.

Hello, thank you for using Howly.

Do you have access to the email address *****@yahoo.com?

Yes, that's my husband's acct.

Alright.
A password reset link could be sent to that account.
