Lower Minimum Yahoo Username Length
As of the time I am typing this, the minimum amount of characters you may use when choosing your Yahoo address username is four. I would like to see this limit lowered to three.
My personal reason for wanting this change is due to a mistake I made in the "email address" field when creating an account some time ago on a website I use, forgetting to input the numbers at the end of my actual email address at the time. I have since lost access to the account and cannot recover it because the Yahoo address I entered only had three characters in its username. Lowering the character limit to three would allow me to create a new email address to match the one attached to the account.
There are pros and cons for this idea, the main ones that I can think of off the top of my head are:
Pro: Gives people a chance at some desirable email addresses.
Con: Available three character usernames could run out after a short while (but I think this con still beats not being able to have three character usernames at all)
