there are several users on my computer and I do not want all to have access to my yahoo email.  How do I put a required password to open my email?

A password is always required for you to access your mail unless you saved the password with your browser. If you no longer want your browser to save your password, go to OPTIONS, then go to SECURITY, then go to CLEAR SAVED PASSWORDS (directions may vary slightly from browser to browser).

There is no way in which yahoo will send the password to the alternate email address until and unless you verify your secret question, zip code and date of birth on their forgot password page. \n\nThere is no way in which yahoo can identify a person other than those 3 criterias. That is the reason Yahoo cannot send the password email. Contacting yahoo is also a waste, they will not help.

Hi!  Good luck for you, I work for yahoo.  \n\nSounds like your computer used to log you into your mail automatically.  If you don't remember what your password is, go through the lost password tool on yahoo and you should have all of your stuff.

I'm assuming you're trying to use Yahoo!  The same thing happened to me several years ago.  You can ask for a password if you have a non-Yahoo! email account.  Otherwise, you have to contact tech support.

Do not feel safe because the yahoo server scans for virus infections. This does not protect you from infection in your emails. Do not open emails in the bulk folder.  It protects the Yahoo server from being infected.\n\nIf using the old email program. Click on the bulk folder and the emails will be listed. Look for ones that might be valid email and mark them as not spam or click and open them and read. Any that you don't know or want, especially if there is no subject or from address, the click the box next to it and click the delete button. Then click yes.\n\nIf you have an email that says New Graphic Site or anything like that, delete it without opening. It is infected and has infected many yahoo mail users this morning.\n\nIf it is the Yahoo mail Beta. Go to where it says HIDE PANE and click. Then click on the spam folder and the emails will be listed. This time you have to highlight and the click the delete button. By hiding the view pane the email is not opened. To delete more than one, hold down the crtl key and highlight all you want to delete. To open the pane again select the View button and select Reading Pane.

Hi there are two ways to do this:\n► Through User Profiles\n- START / CONTROL PANEL / USERS \n- Choose your account\n- Select Manage Network Password (upper left)\n- Delete all entries there :)\n\n► Through Registery\n* NOTE: You have to know what your doing or it will mess up!\n- START / RUN / regedit \n- Search for the email address in the list\n- Delete all Entries\n\nEnjoy!! BTW if your using the 2nd technique, please be carefull! \n\nGood Luck!

Why do they need to? Like sumones only want Yahoo! for email only, not for chatting and letting sumone hack into your computer...

They are asking for a password that is only for that website. They want you to create a user account with them. During that process, you will have to make up a password for that site only. Do not use the password that you log onto the computer with. Pick something else.\n\nIf you really wish to remain private, then do not post your real information.

This doesn't specifically answer your question, but if you want some privacy and don't want your husband to read your emails from your pc, then change your details as follows:\n\nMake sure these are NOT enabled (when logging in):\n\nHotmail (web): "Save my email address and password"\nMessenger: "Remember my password"\n\nThe downside is that it adds an extra task in logging in (i.e. you have to use your password each time).\n\nChange your current password - He may already know it.\n\nIf you have a shortcut to hotmail and it automatically logs you in to your mail (bypassing the password), then log out of hotmail (and messenger) to get to the home page and you will be able to change the settings there.\n\nIf you access email via an email client (e.g. Outlook), then there's not a lot you can do to prevent him reading your emails, unless you change it in the mail client's setting to be prompted for your password each time you ask to receive new mail.\n.\nIf your husband notices this, then he may think you've got something to hide, so be prepared for a period of frostiness!\n\nGood luck.

You cant really do it unless they saved their password on their computer.\nIf you forget a password, you can retrieve it by having it sent to your email.

use the Yahoo HELP line and ask them to reset your password, they CANNOT tell you what it is, as it is encrypted, they can only reset it for you, then you change it to the one you want.

This simply is not the case. Both Yahoo and Hotmail have security in place specifically designed to stop this kind of attack. Yahoo requires that you enter a random code into an additional field provided as well as the UN and PW after 16 failed login attempts. Failure to enter the correct code will result in a failure to log into the account, even if the Username and Passwrods are correct. Hotmail has a different security feature which sends the user to a "lockout" page, which has NO field to enter the Username or Passwords after just one failed attempt.\nWhile there are programs that claim to be able to hack hotmail, yahoo or egold, all they really seem to be are specialized keyloggers and trojans that send the info from a targets computer. The question is then, if you can get a target to download / run a program, then why would you only steal their email account nformation? Why not simply take control of the whole thing?\nSolution ??\n# Think.\n# Scan often.\n# Look for potential problems, dont wait for them to find you.\n# Use case sensitive alphanumeric PWs at least 8 characters long and use symbols like @, #, $ whenever able!!!\nThat should help!!!\nAbhishek

there is a way.  if any has gotten your password, then he/she could hack your email add. really bad.\n\nmust***\n\n--avoid shitty porn sites. they host to a plethora of spybots and spywares.\n--just don't ever give your password to anyone. \n--when making passwords, mix numbers with letters to increase password security.\n--after using a computer in a public place( i.e. computer shops, internet cafes etc. )make sure you have logged your account out. \n--erase all your traces after use(of public computers).\n--when asked "do you want windows to remember your password?", just click NO. ( passwords are memorized by the computer the next time someone logs on with that username) \n\nif there are guys smart enough to do the "squeezing " of data, they could lead a trace about your email add and password.\n\nhackers could also crack a "backdoor" into your system. stealing your email adds, credit card numbers, bank acc. nos. etc.  DON'T you ever download or cut and paste pictures (esp. GIF's) over the net without using an antivirus SWare.  \n\nTIP---> use proxy servers for better security. (hide your IP add)\n\nJOMAR S.T. NDGM '96
