The Yahoo "Sign-in seal" is just an image (or text) that is stored on your computer. When you go to the Yahoo login page, it displays your image if it can find it. Then you look at it to make sure it is really your sign-in seal. Its purpose is to give you assurance that the page where you are entering your password is actually a Yahoo page. You can also do that by checking what site the page is from. Yahoo promotes it as a way to protect your password. All it really does is to give you another verification that you entering your information on the yahoo site rather than a phishing site. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
