Re-installing yahoo messenger will defenitely solve your problem. But dont give "Repair" or "Custom" While uninstalling. Choose "Automatic" and uninstall.\n\nNOTE:\nThe log files in which your IM conversations are stored will also be deleted when you uninstall. You are adviced to take a backup copy of it before uninstalling so that you dont miss any important notes saved in conversation log.\n\nI am not responsible for any loss or damage.

I'm using the Firefox edition which I don't think allows you to stop it from remembering, but the Internet Explorer edition might. Go to the little pencil icon and then click on "Toolbar Options." That may offer an option to not remember searches.

If you have more than one session into your mailbox, it will do this.  For example, you open Yahoo mail, then minimize it because you are looking at something else. Then you open Yahoo mail again. Yahoo wants to verify that you are really you before going forward with any more requests. It protects you in case you are using a public computer (library, cyber cafe, etc) and leave without closing all your windows. \n\nSome third-party chat uilities and other add-ons will mimic a session login so try turning all of those off and see if that helps.

First of all, make sure that when you login to Yahoo you check the box to remember your password. This creates a cookie on your computer that stores your user name and password so you don't have to enter it over and over. Keep in mind that this only works for the computer that you are using when you select the “remember my password” option, so if you use two separate computers then you would have to select this option on both computers.  Second, make sure that you are not manually deleting your cookies, and that you don't have any software on your computer that automatically removes your cookies every 4 hours. Deleting your cookies would cause you to have to enter your user name and password again, even if you select the option to have it automatically remembered for you. Third, double check the time frame you have set up for password prompting. I know you said that it was set to ask you daily, but go there again and make sure that it is still set correctly.

I wouldn't suggest sneaking around with MSN Messenger.  It keeps a lot of info in various folders on your computer.\n\nI would suggest you try http://www.meebo.com/   It's a web based IM service.  Just make sure you use private browsing (Safari RSS), or clear that website out of your history.

If you want your browser to remember your username & password, then don't sign out. Just close the browser right away. However, for security purposes, Yahoo will still ask you once in a while to verify your password, even if you set the browser to remember your ID and password.

there's 2 reasons i can think of why your puter is doing that,  1: you have cookies disabled(yahoo stores a cookie on your computer that holds that information)\nor 2: you have it set to secure log on\n\nR3dm0

Tools/Internet options/Content TAB, click on AUTO Complete.\nUncheck the boxes and click on Clear forms, Clear Passwords. This will do the trick. If you uncheck the boxes then Your computer won't ever remember your searches and you won't have to worry about it.
