    Yahoo Mail


    Hello all..

    I have tried to manage this issue with Yahoo..But on all honesty it's like chasing a headless chicken.

    I wonder if somebody can help/advise me. The field in which you type in, for your password has disappeared. I have looked into this on 2 different laptops including my main computer, with 4 different types of browsers. Is anybody else experiencing this at all?

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Some email services use 2 step entries
    First you enter the email account and the enter key
    Then the password box appears....
    Gmail has gone this way.

    Strange, because I have been using this service since the year 2000 and never have I encountered an issue. All of a sudden I am unable to sign in, all because there is no field for the password.

    Hi,
    Looks like the same method as gmail = 2 step sign in.

    Hi you're welcome :)
    They have switched it for a more secure second step to enter the password in
    It also limits errors in entering either step
    If you fail the first step entering the email address you automatically know it :)
    Otherwise all of them have a three strikes and you're in lockout and reset password mode which is no fun
    Cheers.
