Profiles on Yahoo have undergone a number of changes in recent years, so you may be confused about how to get back to an old profile that you haven't used in a while. Whether the profile was part of the original Yahoo Profiles, part of the short-lived Yahoo Pulse or part of the Yahoo! Profile established in December 2011, you can still access it by logging in to the Yahoo email account associated with the profile.
Navigate to the login page for Yahoo! Profile. All access to Yahoo! Profile goes through Yahoo account sign in, which is the same procedure you use to log in to your Yahoo email account.
Enter the Yahoo ID associated with the profile you want to reactivate in the Yahoo! ID field, and then enter your old password into the Password field.
Type the verification CAPTCHA into the provided field. This is a standard step for all old Yahoo accounts that are being reactivated.
In some cases, you may be asked a verification question following the CAPTCHA. This occurs only if you are logging in to your Yahoo account from a location different than the one you used previously. The verification questions include "Who is Your Favorite Uncle?," "What is the Street Name Where You Grew Up?" and other similar identifying questions. Your answer must match the one you provided when you started your Yahoo account.
Click "Next: Your Public Profile" when the screen launches stating: "You're about to activate your Yahoo! Profile. This is how others will see you all around Yahoo!". A "Creating Your Profile" message displays and then a new profile screen will launches with your name at the top.
Enter additional information to your old Yahoo Profile if desired. Your name, geographical location and profile picture (if you had selected one in your old profile) will still be part of your profile, however the screen may display differently than you remember due to the frequent Yahoo! profile revamps. You may change any of these things on the profile page at this time. In the future, you can access your profile again simply by signing in to your Yahoo! account. As long as you sign in at least once every four months, your Yahoo! Profile will remain active, and it won't be necessary to go through the CAPTCHA or question verification again.
