Yahoo Says Password Incorrect But It’s Right
## Direct Answer
If Yahoo says your password is incorrect but you’re sure it’s right, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then reset your password. If that doesn’t work, check for caps lock, typos, and ensure you’re using the correct account.
## Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Clear Browser Cache and Cookies**: Go to your browser’s settings, find the “Clear browsing data” option, and select “Cookies and other site data” and “Cached images and files”. Confirm the deletion.
2. **Reset Your Password**: Go to the Yahoo login page, click “Forgot password”, enter your email address, and follow the instructions to reset your password.
3. **Check for Caps Lock and Typos**: Ensure caps lock is off and double-check your password for any typos.
