Yay, I was just able to successfully log into my Yahoo account. I don't think I've logged into the account in the past six or seven years. I tried a couple of months ago to log in when I got an invitation to the preview of Yahoo 360, but I couldn't remember my password and the remind me of my user name and password features didn't seem to work.
I thought I would give it another try, now that Flickr is slowly getting absorbed into Yahoo. I think I read somewhere that within the next year you will be required to use a Yahoo account to log into Flickr.
So after punching in half a dozen or more variations of my commonly used passwords, I suddenly struck gold. Chalk one up for easily guessed passwords.
Once logged in, I updated the account's email address which was still set to an account that I cancelled some seven years ago. Hopefully this will make it easier to retrieve my account information the next time I forget.
