To top it off, their password reset for existing users is completely broken now. I don't mean "poorly designed," I mean it is simply not working.

When I tried to reset a password recently, I got "your password is too weak" for every password I tried, including very long randomly-constructed not-previously-used passwords resembling line noise. This after carefully making sure both entries of the password matched. Multiple times. The form simply does not allow the user to proceed, and it gives false reasons. It is broken.



I just changed my Yahoo password without any issue. It was incredibly straight forward for me.


That's great that it worked for you, thanks so much for sharing. I'll try again.
