Could I Recover My Yahoo Account If Facebook Account Can Prove It's Really Mine?

Hello there! I have been using my old Yahoo account ([email protected]) since 2006 up till few weeks ago (june 2012). Since September 2011 I have been using this old account to create and login my Facebook account. Since few weeks ago I cannot access my old Yahoo account and I forgot my security answers... (they are so secure that I cannot remember the answers myself.. stupid, i know). Fortunately, I can still access my Facebook account "Aurelia Anghel" (via separate Facebook password) - and more than that - on my Facebook page - on information menu - my old Yahoo account ([email protected]) still hangs there, even though I cannot access it. Would this be enough proof that this old Yahoo account is really mine?I usually pay attention with passwords and identity data, but when I created my old Yahoo account it was more for fun/ messenger, meanwhile I got a lot of contacts, e-mails, important professional and personal data I thought I would never lose.. It is very important for me to recover my Yahoo account. Could somebody please help me recover my account?My new e-mail address is [email protected] .

If you've added a mobile number to your account, you can log in by entering that number in the Email field. Start with the country code and remove any leading zeroes and symbols. You also may be able to get into your account by getting help from friends. Details are here. Facebook will not consider any "proof" such as you mention. Sorry.
