Recovering or reactivating a deleted Yahoo account

To reactivate your account

1. On a desktop or laptop computer, visit the Yahoo Sign In page.
2. Enter your Yahoo ID and password.
3. Confirm your Yahoo ID and complete the CAPTCHA verification.
4. Select Reactivate at the bottom of the page.

If successful, the reactivation can take up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that some account data may be lost and not recoverable.

While it may be possible to recover certain deleted or inactive Yahoo Mail accounts, recovery is not possible if:

• The account was deactivated due to a violation of the Terms of Service.
• The account was deleted due to inactivity (you must sign-in at least once every 12 months).
