How to recover the forgotten password by mail

If you forgot the password from the mailbox, it is possible to try to restore it. Modern mail services offer several ways for password recovery.

Instruction

1. A traditional way of recovery of the forgotten password of a mailbox is the correct answer to a confidential question. The confidential question is defined during registration of e-mail. The matter can be standard which can be selected from the revealing list, for example ""A maiden name of mother" ", " "The brand of the first car"" or ""Passport number"", or own which will need to be written to registration time. The system of password recovery is activated in case of the correct answer to the question posed (the answer is also specified during registration). Try to select a confidential question so that the answer to it was known only to you, in avoidance of cracking of a mailbox.

2. It is also possible to recover the forgotten password by mail having specified additional e-mail. Additional e-mail the address, as well as a confidential question, is specified during registration of a mailbox, and right after its termination the letter confirming that the address of this mailbox is specified as additional used for recovery of another comes to it. If you do not know the answer to a confidential question, the system will suggest you to specify the additional address to which the letter will come with the instruction for recovery of the forgotten password.

3. Some mail services use validation of a mailbox by means of the SMS message. If the password from such mailbox will be lost, the system will suggest the user to enter number of the mobile phone (or its last 4 digits) on which the message will come with the special code giving access to the system of password recovery. Pay attention that the phone number should be in advance specified in the account of e-mail. Otherwise this way will not work.
