Create a strong, memorable password in 6 steps
Use these steps to develop a strong password:
1.
Think of a sentence that you can remember. This will be the basis of your strong password or pass phrase. Use a memorable sentence, such as "My son Aiden is three years old."
2.
Check if the computer or online system supports the pass phrase directly. If you can use a pass phrase (with spaces between characters) on your computer or online system, do so.
3.
If the computer or online system does not support pass phrases, convert it to a password. Take the first letter of each word of the sentence that you've created to create a new, nonsensical word. Using the example above, you'd get: "msaityo".
4.
Add complexity by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. It is valuable to use some letter swapping or misspellings as well. For instance, in the pass phrase above, consider misspelling Aiden's name, or substituting the word "three" for the number 3. There are many possible substitutions, and the longer the sentence, the more complex your password can be. Your pass phrase might become "My SoN Ayd3N is 3 yeeRs old." If the computer or online system will not support a pass phrase, use the same technique on the shorter password. This might yield a password like "MsAy3yo".
5.
Finally, substitute some special characters. You can use symbols that look like letters, combine words (remove spaces) and other ways to make the password more complex. Using these tricks, we create a pass phrase of "MySoN 8N i$ 3 yeeR$ old" or a password (using the first letter of each word) "M$8ni3y0".
6.
Test your new password with Password Checker. Password Checker is a non-recording feature on this Web site that helps determine your password's strength as you type.

On the page where yahoo asks for your password. Above your password in that white area in the left hand corner where it looks like it's folded over, click on that and you should be able to do it from there.

to find out that you would have to write an email to Yahoo (TM) asking that of that.. but it sounds to me if you have a keyloger on your computer.. have you downloaded anything on your computer lately that you dont know what it did? =S keyloggers are explained in their name! these are nasty buggers and very dangerous! Dont access any bank accounts on your computer it will get all your PINs and Passwords.... there are many ways to get rid of them but mostly type this into googlr " do i have a keylogger? " with out the quoted! good luck!

How do you think they are planning to gain access to your password, and why would they? To protect it, I would suggest changing it regulary, and if writing it down, keep it in a secure place.

You can change your password every week or so.
