I don't know that showing your old password will make sure you don't make a clerical error. It may stop some folks from repeating the old password as the new one. It also serves the purpose of confirming your old password in case you might want to change your mind and stick with that one.

You can express your views using this contact information: Write Yahoo by snail mail at 701 1st Av., Sunnyvale, CA 94089.
