OK....I have the dropdown list now...and that's fine...when I type in my password, yahoo acts as if I entered the wrong password...what am I doing wrong now?

Works gr8. Also works on FF 1.5.0.1

You have to edit the script to work. Editing the userscript can be done through the menu Tools > Manage User Scripts. You select the script on the left side and click on the Edit button. If it is the first time you use this function it asks you to select a text editor. Select notepad (on Windows it is in the windows-folder) or another editor you prefer. Then the script is opened in your favorite editor.

Now edit this line to add your Yahoo! Ids:
names = new Array("Put","Your","User","ID","Here");
to (say):
names = new Array("Shrish","John_Smith","MrCool");

If it still does not work modify the 'Included Pages' filter to '*.yahoo.com/*'.

I was wondering if this script can be modified to provide a password dropdown selection box like above username box.
(may work in conjuction with Unpassword - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/695 Changes password inputs to be type text instead).
If you have any idea pls post here.

Using the "last updated March 14, 2006" version, I was able to use this script. Modify the "names" array near the beginning of the script with your valid yahoo signon(s), e.g.:

names = new Array("signon1","name2","user3@sbcglobal.net");

I edited the script, but it plain doesn't work. Bummer.

I would also like to request instructions for editing this script. I got as far as clicking on Manage User Scripts, highlighting Yahoo! User Persistance Thing and then clicking on Edit. There are no further directions and I don't know what to Edit.

Thank you.

More info on how to edit the script would be usefull.

Oops...sorry...read the script and realize one has to modify the script with usernames....unfortunately, I don't understand exactly what to change in the script...could you provide clearer instructions?

Doesn't seem to work withe FF 1.5
