Good ol' Yahoo.

Just leave it to them to get on one's nerves.

When I go to check my mail, I'm greeted with a screen that has me logged in, but asking me to verify my password to continue.

Before, when I'd do that, it'd let me into my e-mail. Now, I get this, in red letters:

"As a security precaution, please enter your Yahoo! ID and password and type in the code you see in the picture below."

So at this point, it wants me to re-enter my username, my password(again!), and the "word you see below," which is seldom a word at all.

I don't mind that last extra kink being added, but fuck, why do they have me jump through the password hoop in the first place if I have to enter ALL my information again right after?

Makes the "remember my ID on this computer" checkbox they give you worthless. I wish there was someone I could e-mail about this...

Not a term I choose to use often, but man, this is freaking retarded.

And for the record, I do have Gmail, that one's one I use for business. Yahoo I keep around for a lot of my old e-mails, as well as various stuff where spam might be attracted. "Multi-purpose," you might call it.

Yahoo is weird with that shit. >_> I think once it asked me to verify my password, like, three times in a row. And it didn't even say the password was invalid or anything; they wanted to be TRIPLY SURE. Idiots.

But that mostly happened to me when I wanted to go into the gaming section, and they would ask me for that same verification for every game I went into. :P I don't use it for e-mail, so there's probably a lot of annoyances I haven't yet discovered... ugh. I'd rather not know.

yeah, it's... sorta ridiculous :P At first I thought I must have entered my password wrong the first time and it just kinda popped up, but then it does that like, every single time. Kinda paranoid for a free service, I think.
