I noticed that someone else added the features requested here with a revamped version:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1747

HTTPS and focus switch added (D Rickard also commented the code, which I had failed to do). I kind of left this one laying fallow because personally I use gmail ;-)

Sean,
With uncommenting Chris means that you should remove the // in the script. Now this line is not used, but when you edit the userscript this resets the list.
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 and you can remove those lines.
When you now use the Yahoo-page again the list is empty. However, I guess that you should put those lines in front again if you want the script to remember the usernames again (but someone please correct me if I am wrong).

This would be great if it would fix the one biggest thing broken about the Yahoo! login page, and that is the fact that it is insecure (http) by default. I'm hoping for an update to this that automatically transfers to the secure (https) login form before the pulldown menu displays.

All I can say is - WOW!

One small thing though- I can't figure out how to clear the list, or maybe it's not working for me. What do you mean by uncommenting?
