Why am I asked for my password on yahoo TV?

Question

Every time I open internet explorer and I go to yahoo TV I am asked for my password. I do want to get to my favorite channels, but I don't want to type in my password all the time. I checked 'keep me signed in for 2 weeks', but that does not help! Why do I need to type in my password every single time I go to yahoo TV when I checked the box 'keep me singned in for 2 weeks' ?

Answer 1

Because whenever Yahoo! asks for "secure" information, you must re-enter your password in order to prevent others, who may just happen to stumble across your computer while you're still logged-on, from accessing such things. You see, while you might live alone, there may be others who wouldn't want their family members to access or view their "favorite channels," which could be restricted to a certain age group. Therefore, you may be required to enter your password, which can be simplified if it's too strong, when you access such "personal" information.
