    There's a couple of problems.

    First yahoo has a security feature which at a certain point will make you log in.

    Second, if you have your computer or browser set to delete cookies and cache whenever you close your browser, or your firewall/anti-virus do this when ever you shut down your computer, then all your password that were saved, etc. will be deleted.

    You can change this on your browser, to save them longer, however at some point yahoo will make you sign in. Its a security feature, and will save your name in the long run.

    thats not a good idea..so many ppl are so slow..if you leave your e-mail open sitting on your desktop open..have you not heard it is a way for hackers to get into your account hmmm?

    You safe way is not to do it that way but only log inot it when you need to ..useing your name and pw..if you want to do that and if one day you try to get into your account while it was open and then it jumps back to the log in screen it means someone got into it and or..your time has ran out and you need to relog into it again..If you leave it open your giveing any one in your house family friends a chance to read what you have and not only that all they have to do is change things around and mess it up to the point you can use it no more..DON"T DO IT
