YES....ANY LAY PERSON CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT IS NUMBER ONE SECURITY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YAHOO MAIL OR ANY SIMILAR WEBSITE......DEFAULT SETTING SHOULD BE " DON'T KEEP ME SIGNED IN "

I have a suggestion regarding the sign in page. The “Stay signed in” box should be removed or at least unchecked by default. Let the user make a conscious effort to check the box if they wish to remain signed in. If someone uses a computer in a public place such as a library, their account is at risk for a security breach. Yahoo notified its users in September of a security breach and proposed settlement possibly affecting anyone who had a Yahoo account anytime in 2012 through 2016. Please reconsider this feature. Thank you.
