Through your web browser, you must go to the Yahoo homepage to open a new email account. Enter the following URL in the address bar: https://yahoo.com. Once you have done this, go to the top right and click on the "Mail" button.

When you are redirected to the Yahoo Mail login page, instead of trying to fill in the field that appears, scroll down a little and click on "Register". This will take you to the form for registering a new email.

 2 - Enter your user data

In order to create the account, Yahoo needs a series of personal data to be able to provide it with an identity. You must write your name and surname in the spaces provided. Then, do the same with the email address you want to have, keeping in mind that it must be unique in order to move forward.

After this, enter a password (it is recommended that you mix numbers and letters to be more secure), a mobile phone number to be linked to allow the recovery of the mail in case you have problems logging in, the date of birth and your gender (this last data is optional).

3 - Check your phone

In this step, after having completed the previous step, Yahoo Mail asks you to confirm that the phone entered is real and belongs to you. You have to click on the button to have a code sent via SMS to your mobile.

When you receive it, open it and memorize the code that appears on it, since you have to enter it in the corresponding field inside your PC and then click on the "Verify" button.

4 - Yahoo! mail created

At this point, your Yahoo mail is ready to go. Before finishing, you will be asked if you want to receive information about offers, promotions and so on, something you can activate or deactivate by checking or unchecking the box. Click on "Continue" and you'll be taken directly to your new email box. Done!
