Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I have had to reset a password at another website with this problem, and the password reset email WENT TO YAHOO AND I FORGOT MY NEW PASSWORD BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT I AM SO MAD
EDIT:
Resetting my password again. I've tried "nailchocolate" and some numbers before and after, a password combination I have never in my life used, and yahoo determined that this is completely unacceptable because I can't have a password that contains a part of my name. I can't even find two consecutive characters that match my first name, last name, or user id. Am I not allowed to use any one character that's in one of those fields? I may have eliminated the entire alphabet.
I haven't used Yahoo mail for a while, but I pretty much hate anything that requires you to have a lowercase, uppercase, number, etc. in order for it to accept the password. It's all well and good if they encourage that by showing your password strength, but I can make a password nice and uncrackable without having to use all of the above, thank you. Skype had the same thing when it comes to numbers.
I stick with Gmail these days.
!!!!!!!!!!!! it keeps happening!!!
it remembers my passwords and doesn't let me change it to anything too similar to anything i've used before
I'm running out of proper nonsense to use for passwords after sixteen or so passwords
i've tried various combinations of words such as "trout" "service" "orange" "an" and number strings all rejected because it "can't include my username or name" which is just the name of an unpopular vegetable

captain's log stardate 4358.7
start to suspect i am not allowed to share a single character from my name i try typing characters into the box one at a time to see specifically what character or strings will make it change from "too weak" to "Your password cannot allow your name or username." i figured it out. i can't use the letter "t".
the smurfing letter t
why
May I suggest contacting Yahoo! Support regarding you being unable to use the letter T in your password?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I've had a Yahoo email account for over 10 years. It asks me to change my password about every 6 months. I alternate between two different passwords each time it happens. It's never made me enter a phone number or told me I couldn't use a password. Remember your password and it's the easiest thing ever.

I've never had a Yahoo! password change forced upon me. Only ever done it voluntarily. :o

See it won't let me use anything similar to my old passwords. And after like the sixth time this happened I started writing them on a sticky note like a big fat loser aughOriginally Posted by theundeadhero
I wonder why everyone has different experiences. WTF?
...
Count me in as someone who had their Hotmail emails deleted. It sucks, because I had saved an email conversation w/ Bobby "The Brain" Heenan that I did for a school assignment. Thankfully, I printed those out (even though I don't know where they are). Still pissed me off, because I only was gone for a month.
I've used Gmail since it was in beta and haven't really ever had issues with it. I also don't really send a lot of emails.

I logged into twitch and twitch was like "ok you have to reset your password because reasons check your email" and I check my email and yahoo is all "hi we've had some changes recently click next and we'll walk you through what to do next ok ok" and I do it and this smurfing trout again I screamed when i saw the passowrd boxfasodfljaweklfefsgefbejbnejoarwejiorfw
EDIT:
apparently hitting "enter" after typing your password in twitch goes to the reset password link rather than the log in link who knew
