Creating a new Yahoo Mail account: Step-by-Step

1

The first step is to open your browser and look for http://mail.yahoo.com. Depending on your region, the extension .com might change or the whole link might have your country’s top level domain (.co.uk, .in, etc.) put in front of it. This will not affect your registration in any way.

Since you don't have an account yet look for the Sign up for a new account link right below the Yahoo mail sign in form.

3

Since you do not own a Yahoo account yet, you will have to go down a bit and hit the registration button. The next page will ask you for the following information:

• Name
• Surname
• Username
• Password
• Phone number
• Date of birth
• Sex
• Optional phone number for recovery and the relationship status

That optional phone number is required in case someone wants to hack into your account. This way, Yahoo will send a text message to that phone number letting the person know that someone used their username and password, if they guessed it, and that it is time to change it.

In case your username is already taken, Yahoo offers you a few username suggestions based on your name and surname. If you do not like them, you can type in one that suits you. That will be your email that you will have to use when signing in.
By pressing the Create Yahoo Mail account button, you agree with their Terms & Conditions.

5

That's it. You have successfully created a new Yahoo Mail account and can start sending emails now.
