It is very important to give an alternate email address in order to retrieve your
password for your default email address. As i said various email providers like
yahoo mail, windows live hotmail, gmail only send your password if your fotgot  the alternate email address.

The role of an alternate email address is to specify yourself that you have other email address too, which can be associated with the default email address for security purpose any how in future if you need to contact to email provider
.if you can’t contact with the email provider from the default email address.

So be sure when you insert an alternate email address then the email address has to be.

  • The email address which is owned by yourself.
  • Email address has to be valid, don’t insert an address which is not valid.
  • Insert the email address which is currently running from last atleast 2 months.

Those are some of the characteristics with which your alternate email address has to be up to mark.

If you have those all charectersitics then just insert your alternate email address and your email provider will send you the forgotten email address password to the specified alternate email address.

First solution for alternate email address is to always use an alternate email address of different email provider than those in which you are currently trying to create an account.

Like if you create an account on gmail then give your windows live hotmail as an alternate email account.
