I've had my Yahoo account since 1999, never had any issues with it aside from the fact it pretty much gets spammed to the rafters now where my e-mail has existed for so long and has been used at so many places. It's pretty much my junk mail account now

It's also never asked me to change my password ever since I setup SMS recovery on it a few years ago. So weird it's making you go through all that hassle Jess. :s
