    Yahoo help indicates security questions are no longer used. They suggest setting up your email address and phone number. If you are locked out, they will send a code to your phone device, and an email to help unlock your account.

    Security questions used to be used to protect your Yahoo! account, but have been phased out in favor of recovery phone numbers and email addresses. Because of this change, you can no longer view or reset your security questions. To protect your account, you'll need to enter a phone number or recovery email address.
