Suddenly, my password is popping up automatically when I sign onto my e-mail account, and I do NOT want this!

For years, I would be required, when signing onto my Yahoo e-mail account, to type in my password every time. Now, it pops up automatically...and I CANNOT have this. I tried disenabling cookies, etc., but the problem persists. Help, please!

Find the stored passwords
Preferences > Security > Saved passwords
and delete it. If it asks next time whether to save it, say no.

If that doesn't work (not sure how yahoo does it)
Preferences > Privacy > Remove individual cookies
enter 'yahoo' at the top and delete any cookies containing it. (Or delete all cookies.)
