This is a question for Yahoo:.

Can Yahoo please explain, in terms of security what the difference is between the following:

1. My friend or neighbour who may quite likely have access to my information tries to log onto my account using my password they stole from me yesterday. (Yahoo policy is allow)

2. Someone 5,000 miles away with absolutely no idea who I am and has absolutely no access to my personal details, tries to sign on with my password (Yahoo policy is don't allow)

I'd be curious to know the exact thought process that determines that someone close by who may quite possibly have access to my sign on is considered safe. And yet someone 5,000 miles away who would have to have a 1 in a trillion chance of guessing my password correctly first time (and would therefore obviously be me) is unsafe.

To me the only asnwer Yahoo could possibly come up with based on those two options is: "We do it because were morons with no concept of security."

I just wondered if you had a different explanation in the absence of which let's just take it as my: "We do it because were morons with no concept of security." Is the correct answer.

Please enough of these snakes articles and publications as headlines, don’t post as headlines, some people are allergic to Snakes!!!!!

At least we want to log on to simply our emails and you open yahoo, everywhere is simply full of snakes, not everyone likes such sights if it is documentary, please find other animals or special yahoo portals or blog spots for such. We read about people and what's happening to human beings and simply log on to our emails too without nightmares of snakes from pictures from yahoo magnifying snakes on their publications! If it is for people to live cautiously against poisonous snakes, that happened to have been dangerous somewhere in a place or to create awareness for people to be aware and be safe, that could be different. Honestly, we tired of Yahoo's numerous snake publications, other animals can do.

so far yahoo only let's you link facebook and twitter why as there are so many more sites which people use these days we should be able to link much more than these 2 sites most people I no don't use facebook anymore and I for 1 have certain sites for certain people like all my technology friends are on G+ mostly all my sport buddies on twitter and for TV film addicts it's zeebox yahoo should get with the times do a survey of the top 10 sites we want to share to as there are at least 20 social sites that are popular now not just facebook and twitter
