Why do I get asked for my Yahoo password every time I sign on? Sometimes in the middle of an answer!?
I just answered a question, previewed the answer, then went to submit it and was suddenly asked for my password. When I entered my password my answer to the question was gone. Since it was a lengthy answer, I did not bother to rewite it.

Yeah, that annoys me as well. It's because when your sign in period of 24hours has expired. To be safe, I usually copy my long answers and paste them onto a temporary notepad file, in case my sign in period has expired.

i think if someone close to you who have access to your account, maybe trying to get on line same time with you and that confuse the isp that is why they are trying to see if its legit but since both have the correct one, it usually do the asking of password for security reason...
i suggests that whenever you answer YA, try to type it in word document, copy then paste it, so it will not mess up. i know its time consuming to write, think about the effort and concentration you have put up answering. this way, it will avoid wasting your time re-writing..plus the word have that check speller..
