I don't have my computer save my Yahoo! username and password - why

Dunno.  Point being that you can, if you want to.  When you said...

  "Once I hear I can login ONCE with this password I refuse to put any
  effort into holding onto or remembering and change it to something I
  can remember without effort, I'll do it."

...you seemed to be saying that you couldn't -- that you had to log in
each time rather than just once.

But I don't _want_ to, and to suggest that as an alternative to carrying
around a machine-generated password seems a little boneheaded.

Thick-skulled, maybe...dunno if I agree about boneheaded.  :)

I guess next time I'll hafta read your mind.  I only had what you wrote
to go on -- which seemed to be implying something false.  I was only replying
to point out that it -was- indeed possible to sign in once.  I think what
you meant was that you wanted to sign in once and once only using the
proscribed password, but then change that to a new password, and then use
that password periodically?

(...) Same thing? :) (...) Yes, although I would say use that new password every time. I don't cache passwords other than at home, and not all the time there. (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
