Does this happen even if you don't exit out of the browser? In IE you can keep session information around by doing ctrl-n to create new browser windows, which you can exit without losing the session logins. In firefox, if you don't exit all browser instances, the session info is maintained, no matter how the windows or tabs are created. I really do hope they go with the non-expiring session like myyahoo, as opposed to the 24 hour exiration as well.
When I do that, yahoo services stay logged in for their requisite 24 hours. I'm not planning on merging my IDs for a while, I'm too dependent on the way things work now on the yahoo side...

merging flickr and yahoo sounded like it was a good idea at the time.
it certainly wasn't.

I have an old Yahoo account that I rarely use anymore, but I have noticed in the past that Yahoo makes you log in every single day, whether you tell it to "remember me" or not. It's incredibly annoying and something I hope can be changed before we are forced to merge our accounts next year.
Yahoo specifically says:
"You can adjust the length of time before password prompting--up to 24 hours--by visiting Account Info and clicking on the Edit link for Member Information."
Up to 24 hours? That's just crazy. I don't want to have to enter my password every day!

Anyway, what's the point of "Remember my ID on this computer" if it can't remember my ID on this computer even if I walk away for only five minutes?
This happens even if I don't exit my browser, by the way.

Welcome to Yahoo. My worry is, Yahoo has not fixed this (not remembering login, requiring repeated logins, not allowing login) in the years it has had complaints about it; will the Flickr staff be able to convince them that our complaints count?
We all hope so. In the meantime, I will wait until the very last minute to merge.

I've having to login every time too. It's bad enough having to login every 24 hours when my machine is not available to anybody else, but every time I restart the browser too is too much.

Emrys, this is a forum for reporting bugs, not for venting. Please keep it on topic. Oh, and you're wrong :)

Hmm, 3e, do you have any special cookie policies going on that you're aware of. Cookie washers, strict privacy policies or what not?

people the reason you need to "password" so much because of security, Yahoo improved their a long time ago, But Flickr is not very secure! But I AM Sorry I merged, Any Idea how it can be disabled?

This is not a security issue. I don't mind being asked periodically for my password for Yahoo...that's one thing... this is a matter of the password not being stored at all...not even 24 hours if I close the browser window.

This is a major pain in the ass, and now I wish I hadn't merged accounts. One of the annoying things about Yahoo 360 is now one of the annoying things about Flickr.
ARGH!

Can I infer from the silence on this topic that this bug is no longer a bug? Can someone with a merged account chime in real quick and let me know that this stuff works these days?
