I started having trouble with my Hotmail account a few months ago, then about a week ago my Yahoo account started doing the same thing. I was wondering if anyone knew if there might be some virus that had this effect on e-mail passwords? I have to change my password almost every time I sign in.

I think you need to check your key board first, since its not only with yahoo. It might not registering some of the keys. If someone was spying on you he/she would not change the password and secondly if they did you would not be able to use old password forever so its got to be the key board.

the passwords are CasE sensitive. I was having the same trouble, until I noticed my CAPS lock was on.

Yes, they have done that to me. It is frightening because I rely on Yahoo. I have email w/compuserve and a free AOL email acct but I love Yahoo and plan to stick with them. I think they have growing pains.
