Why is yahoo asking for my password?

Why does Yahoo keeping asking for my password?

  • When I log into Yahoo mail I keep getting asked to reconfirm my password over and over during the session. Even when I send an email and click on reply, the next page is asking me to reconfirm my password. When this happens, the email I am sending does not get sent and I have send it again. I was in my email account today and was asked 14 times by Yahoo to recomfirm my password. Why?
