why must I pick a different jpassword every other week and one I cannot remember for more than 2 minutes?

Why must I pick a different password every other week and one I cannot possibly remember for more than 2 minutes? Yahoo won't let me reuse any passwords so I have to make something up out of thin air and try to remember it long enough to match it. Then in 2 weeks I have to go through all this over again and now a new rule!! We have to use both upper and lower case and numbers!!

    If you plan ahead, you can pick a password you can remember. If you remember it, you can enter it correctly and NOT have to keep changing it. I've had the same password for several years.

    I'm using Yahoo.

    And I have an 8 character password that contains all those things ---

    And I've been using it for 5 years.

    Incidently

    You can reuse a password.

    Why not use a phrase that only you would know

    eg

    MaIs45Yo

    (Ma is 45 years old)

    or IAm03Yok

    etc etc
