I also had to change my Yahoo! password for Flickr a while back, and I think the maximum length of my password was still at ~32 characters ... and there's not two-factor authentication to boot.
Yahoo! is very AOL-like still, which is one of those things I really, really hope Meyer can do away with.

- rohitnair 14y agoActually, they do have two-factor auth and apparently have had it for over a year now (I had no idea as well) Hit https://edit.yahoo.com/commchannel/sec_chal_manage https://edit.yahoo.com/commchannel/sec_chal_manage to set it up. They've also finally added https support to Yahoo Mail. It's turned off by default, but still encouraging signs considering how long we've been waiting for it.
