ENHANCED ACCOUNT RECOVERY

Dear Nauman,
We'd like to tell you about the benefits of adding a mobile phone recovery option to your Yahoo! account.
By adding a mobile number to your account it allows us to instantly send a code directly to your mobile phone if you forget your password or if you become locked out for any reason.

It's easy, because you'll always have your phone with you
Receiving a code via text message is fast, simple and secure
A code will be sent to you in seconds to unlock your account immediately

Please take a few minutes now - it could save you a lot of time and frustration later.
Add your mobile number now and we'll keep it secure and only text you if you need help getting back into your account.

Add mobile number

You can also add your number by visiting www.yahoo.com and following these steps:
1. Sign in and click on "account settings" at your name in the upper right corner of the screen
2. Click on "account info" and re-enter your password - for your security
3. Open "update your contact information," enter your mobile number - click the "Save" button
Sincerely,
The Yahoo! Accounts Team
