Bt Yahoo Log On.

[Pete65]

I have had BT Yahoo for three years now, and was only asked to log on with password, once every two weeks or so.
In the last couple of weeks I have had to log on with password every day.
Is this normal now, does anyone know?
Be nice to go back to once every two weeks!

I have to log in about once a month...........

Your browser settings seem to have changed.

If, for example, you've configured it to delete all cookies at the end of a session (or you're using security software to delete cookies) you won't be recognised when you go to the site. If you're recognised but your password isn't automatically provided it's because your browser isn't configured to remember your password.

Without knowing which browser you're using, it's not possible to tell you exactly how to fix the problem.

Thank you both!
Chris, sorry, I am not good with technology!
I have a Dell Inspiron, on Windows 7, and Internet Explorer.
Hope one of those is my browser?

Internet Explorer is your browser. Take a look at its settings to see whether it's configured to save passwords:

Alternatively, install a decent browser! Hardly any of the 'regulars' here in the Technology section use Internet Explorer. Firefox is the most popular option:

Thanks Chris, tried that. All boxes are correctly ticked. So, Plan B!
My present Home Page is BT Yahoo.Can I use this on Google Chrome which is installed but I havent used it, so far. And if I can, how do I do so, please?

I'm sick to death of it too, Pete. From once or twice a month it's now once or twice a day. It changed...on it's own about a week ago.

[Pete65]

I agree, Gness, a blasted nuisance!

Chrome is very popular but I just don't like the feel of it. (Firefox is much closer to Internet Explorer, which is why I recommended it).

To set a home page in Chrome, click on the wrench icon and select 'Options'. If it's not already selected, click the 'Basics' tab. In the relevant section type the URL of the page you want to use (where it says 'Open this page') and check that there's a tick alongside 'Show home button the toolbar'. Click 'Close'.

Chris, thank you very much for your help!
