I forgot my yahoo password long ago, I had used my yahoo account to register a domain name. At the time, I agreed to allow recurring billing (though I don't consciously remember doing this). After a few years of seeing the recurring charge on my bank statement, I called to get a debit card with a new number. They sent me a new card with the same number (but new expirey). After discovering a fresh charge in the next yearly cycle, I called my bank to "contest" the charges. They asked if I had talked to them (the vendor, Yahoo in this case) or otherwise explicitly cancelled my "subscription" and told them I had no way of recovering my account information and wasn't about to navigate their phone-based customer service. My bank did absolutely nothing to help me. Moving forward, I've sought to minimize any form of accounts following this paradigm. Getting rid of passwords is great, long over due, but there are bigger problems with these organizations.
