Yandex.Mail is one of the most popular online services in Russia. It allows users to send and receive emails. In addition to the email service, it provides access to other services as a bonus: Yandex.Maps, Yandex.Disk, Yandex.Music, Kinopoisk, Yandex Go, and more. Yandex offers enhanced protection against spam and viruses.

The mail service has a wide range of features. It is easy to use due to its intuitive and simple interface. Both experienced users and beginners can figure out how it works. Sometimes, for work or personal purposes, it becomes necessary to create 2, 3, or even more email addresses. But is it possible to create a Yandex account without a phone number? We will discuss this in detail in the article.

Yandex Blocks Accounts Without a Phone Number

Previously, creating a Yandex account without a phone number was straightforward. During the form-filling process, you could select the checkbox "I don't have a phone" and provide an answer to a security question. Done. Now, this option is no longer available.

Yandex has once again updated the rules for using its services. According to the new policy, it is now mandatory to confirm a mobile phone number to register a new account or log in to an existing profile. Yandex accounts without a linked phone number will no longer function.

These changes came into effect on December 15, 2022. They apply to the entire range of Yandex services: email, cloud storage Disk, navigator, maps, browser, and other applications.

Users who already have Yandex accounts without a phone number must link a mobile number within one month. Otherwise, access to the account will be blocked.

When registering a new account, phone number confirmation becomes mandatory. Without verification, it will be impossible to create a profile and use Yandex services.

According to the company, these measures are necessary to enhance user security and prevent account theft. However, many criticize the new policy, pointing out a violation of anonymity.

In any case, registering on Yandex without a phone number is now impossible. Such accounts will not be able to log in to the system.

However, there is a way to register on Yandex without your own phone number. You will still need to enter a 10-digit number, but it doesn’t have to be yours. You can use a temporary number. There’s no need to go to a store for this.
