    Passwords are secret because no one else is supposed to know them or be able to figure them out. What you see on TV is baloney. If you don't know the password, and can't change it with whomever is holding the account, then you're out of luck.

    Sorry about that , I did not understand. I need to try and find my old passwords to get into my old mail account.. I am a member with some clubs throw this. Which I used this address for.. because I changed my password so many times on my recent mail account I don't remember the password to my old one. I don't remember which one it is... I tried to answer the security question but it won't work... if I can get my password history back... I can get in. is this possible? Thank you

    Yahoo doesn't keep a record of past passwords. If you can't get into an account you have to try and contact them.

    OK... but how do I find the password history of the account that I have at the moment... I am in my account... how do I find the passwords that I used before for this account that I am in at the moment...

    Again, they don't keep a history. When you change your password they don't keep track of old ones.

    If you have mozilla Firefox it keeps all that, what you have to do is go to tools on the top of the page, then options, the security, then saved passwords, then a box with pop up and click on show all passwords.
