Hm, I didn't try several times, but at least this gives some hope (though
the only person using yahoo over there is my father and he does it only

They wouldn't tell me ... but if you just unclick the 'save password'
chkbox, doesn't the password disappear, too (without multiple .acf files)?
An accidental click is always possible...
