If I don't want a new password, leave mine alone
Leave my settings and passwords alone. The only problem that I have ever had with this account is YOU. This account is more than twenty years old. It is no wonder that yahoo is losing market share. It is poor decision making within corporate. I like my password. I want to return to what it was.

Yes, yes and yes again! It should be my decision whether or not to change my password, not yours--and I should decide the length of my password, not have it specified for me. My "unsafe" password has been in place for several years and I've never had any problems with my account. This idea of "such-and-such a type of password is unsafe" is total rubbish--it's basically a cover for Yahoo's incompetence in being an organisation that leaks like a sieve..
Your part of the deal is to actually make Yahoo accounts safe against hackers--which you're very clearly not doing at the moment. So please don't make me accountable, via something which inconveniences me, for your lack of competence and your complacency. If you could do your jobs properly, we wouldn't have this problem.
Also, please don't force me to add a "recovery phone number". Apart from endangering people's security if the Yahoo database gets hacked again, in my case I don't own a mobile, yet I have to give a number. That means I either have to give someone's number that I don't have access to, or invent one, just to access my account at all when you get into one of your security paranoia phases--both of which cause problems when I really do need to get into my account. So it is actually counter-productive--again inconveniencing me for your lack of competence in securing all our info. (It seems that it's impossible to delete the mandatory phone number too, which is both against data protection legislation, a huge security risk and hugely inconvenient for both me and other people).
Yahoo really is turning into a very aggressive, invasive, arrogant, smug organisation.

We do not want to change out office email password. We prefer to keep it as our permanent one, as we have 13 people that use this account.
thank you much.

I agree with Tate's comment, I don't appreciate being told (forced) what to do with respect to securing my account. It was secure, and still is. It should be our call whether we want to change a password and when, if we want to link it to other accounts/phone numbers and when, if we want to review that info to see if anything has changed and when. Stop pestering us.

One day yahoo will no longer exist. People will become fed up with them constantly "fixing" something that wasn't broke.
