Password Recovery

I have a Galaxy S5 and use it exclusively for all email. Since I can get it all on my phone, why use a computer, right? Anyway, I was syncing all my Yahoo accounts through the default android email app, when Yahoo pushes out a security breach alert. This locks me out of both my accounts. I was able to remember one of the passwords, but the other account wasn't set up with a recovery phone number or email address and I can't remember the password or security question answers (the account is very old, like 10 years+)

I know it's a long shot, but is there a way to retrieve the password that my phone was trying to use to access the account?

Thanks for any and all help.
