Yahoo password suddenly stopped working

I've been using my yahoo account for YEARS now and never had a problem
until today, when it kept telling me that my password/username was
incorrect. I cleared cookies and did all that other stuff, but still
nothing. So I requested and recieved a new password- TWICE, and neither

of them worked. Then I read somewhere that it can take up to 24 hrs for

a new password to take effect, so the default password they gave me
works now, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY OLD ONE?? was i hacked? any way to
tell?

There is a chance that someone found, guessed or cracked your passwd. Are
there other users in the house? I doubt yahoo would check their log files
to see if someone logged in from a different IP but that would be one way to
tell.
donnie.

 

I think it's just Yahoo having fallen over. I couldn't log onto one of
my accounts yesterday, and today none of them work.
It's not the first time this has happened...usually resolves itself in
a few days.
