How can I get the Yahoo security window to stop asking so often to re-sign in?
Before it would allow me to be logged in for 2 weeks before it would ask me the security question. Now in the middle of an e-mail it will log me out and then when I come back in the e-mail is gone, it is not in draft and I have to type everything in again.

Go to “My Account” at the top of this page and make sure it is two weeks. Make sure you are not deleting the Yahoo cookies when closing the browser.

The security is accomplished with the use of a cookie. Yahoo periodically checks the cookie data and if it doesn’t find it or the data is corrupted or simply has expired, it logs you out and establishes a new cookie when you log in again. I do not know how often Yahoo check the cookie data. Apparently, something is affecting the cookie Yahoo puts on your machine. Have you checked your machine for adware, spyware and virus programs? Some of these can be damaging by deleting cookies which belong to competitors.
