This is a yahoo password.I copied&pasted it in MSWord and it appeared this way (gpbkmf3t) instead of asterisks

Question

I made this yahoo password. Supposed i left my yahoo password in an automatic sign-in mode in an internet cafe will the password be decoded by others?

Answer 1

hmmm.. I think you did a double copy and paste..

Did you first copy and paste the password into YM? And then did the copy and paste into Word?

Doing a simple copy and paste should never reveal the password, and if it does, that's a SERIOUS security flaw by Yahoo. But, then again..If you left it with Automatic Sign-On.. you already left the door open.

Always use caution when using public computers, and change your passwords often if you use public access computers.
