Many users often face the problem of losing credentials such as Yandex username and password from Yandex email. You can restore them in several ways that the service provided: via a mobile phone, additional mail, technical support.

Yandex mail recovery methods

Quick restoration of access to mail is performed using the mail.yandex.ru service.

Step-by-step instructions on how to recover Yandex password:

1. Go to the electronic service or use any application that provides access to mail.
2. In the line below the password field, there is a slightly noticeable link that suggests “remembering” it: click on it.
3. A new page will open, where the user is left to enter their email address or login.
4. Below is the captcha input field (short alphanumeric code) with the image next to it. Enter the code, click “Next”.

After that, the system will redirect to the service, where the user is offered various solutions to the problem. You can restore access to mail in the following ways:

• by phone number (which is tied to the account);
• through a secret question;
• through another mail.

By phone number

When registering, Yandex offers to bind to a mobile. You should not refuse this service, as it significantly increases the security of correspondence, while making it easy to restore email by phone number if the password is lost:

1. After opening the access recovery window, select the “Phone” icon.
2. In the next window, enter the mobile number attached to this account, click on the “Get Code” button.
3. An SMS message with a one-time verification code will come to your phone, enter it in a special field.
4. After that, a window will appear on the screen where you can set a new password for the mail.

Through a security question

Another way to restore mail is to use the answer to the secret question, which was also indicated at the time of registration:

1. In the Yandex service, select the “answer to security question” access recovery method.
2. Enter the answer in the field, often it’s “mother’s maiden name” or “pet’s nickname”, click “Next”.

If the user has not forgotten the answer to the secret question, then this item will help activate the password change procedure. If this information is lost or the answer is incorrect, an error message appears. Follow the link and fill out the form to contact support.

Through another mail

You can restore Yandex mail through an additional email account if it was previously associated with an account:

1. In the recovery window, open the additional mail tab.
2. Enter the email address to which the password recovery code will be sent.
3. Repeat the same procedure as in case of restoration of access via telephone.

How to recover a mailbox through technical support

If none of the above methods helped restore access to the mailbox, then you should contact the technical support operators for help. This method unlocks access only in case of complete data verification. Steps for password recovery through technical support:

1. On the Yandex website, find the “Feedback” button (it is located at the bottom of the screen).
2. After that, follow the instructions of the operator who will supervise the procedure.
3. To resume access, it will be necessary to provide scans of documents, the data of the questionnaire that were specified during registration.

What to do if forgot login

Reanimating these credentials will be somewhat more difficult. Often you can restore the login when communicating with friends, through dialogs in different social networks. If in this way it was not possible to find the lost login, then you can not do without a request to the Yandex support service. Operators may request the following data:

• Yandex wallet number;
• counter number, if there is a website with Yandex.Metrica service;
• advertising company number in case of site promotion in Yandex.Direct.

Yandex deleted mail recovery

Often there are situations when you need to restore a long-unused or accidentally destroyed email account (sometimes mail is blocked by moderators for spamming). Options for recovering deleted mail:

1. If the box was deleted by the administration from the database for spamming, the issue can only be resolved with the technical support service.
2. An inevitable appeal to the same service if it is necessary to restore a box that has not been used for a long time. If the mail is not used for its intended purpose for a long time, the address is automatically deleted and you won’t be able to log in in the usual way..

Together with the mail, the Yandex profile is often deleted. In this case, you will need to re-register. As a rule, for three months, the destroyed account is considered busy, so you won’t be able to immediately restore the previous data. At this time, you can register under a different name.
