Yahoo Sign-in Seal keeps disappearing
When BT Yahoo introduced a sign-in seal, I saw it as another good move to improve security - after all, some banks have a similar stage.
But over the past week or so, I have found that whenever I log on, my seal has been replaced by the blasted red 'x'. So I set it up again - correctly, I believe! - but it is never there when I return. It's the same effect as hiitting 'OK' rather than 'Apply'.
Anyone else having this?
If I had the time I would move away from BT Yahoo, as I've mentioned before.
PS Is it a co-incidence that around this period, I've heard the 'error' sound when powering up, but there hasn't been an error message window? How can I check this start-up error?
This has been raised before - try a search for "sign-in seal" in these forums. The sign-in seal depends on a cookie. The answer may be that your computer is not accepting cookies or is deleting them.

My Yahoo Sign in Seal gets deleted from the cache or wherever it is saved in my computer after I close Firefox (3.6.13) and I don't see it again when I restart Firefox and browse to the Yahoo login page.
I used to have the 'private browsing session' checked. But after unchecking it and unchecking all the items in the 'clear history' section, the Sign In Seal problem is resolved. But I want the maximum possible Privacy settings that this Sign In Seal can withstand, ie the minimum possible sacrifice of privacy in relation to the Seal. My question is, how can I do that ? Is there any specific checkbox - unchecking which (and not unchecking all the others like what I've done now) will prevent the Seal from getting deleted ?You can't use Private Browsing if you need to preserve or access specific cookies. In Private Browsing mode the cookies from a regular session are not available. Firefox will create a new set of cookies for every Private Browsing session that are removed if the PB mode session is ended.

I use a yahoo sign-in seal and with firefox 7 it doesn't stay saved. How do I fix this?
Prior to updating to the new Firefox 7 I had created a sign-in seal that yahoo provides. This is an added security feature so that you know you are on the legitimate yahoo site signing in. In the past each time I would go to yahoo to sign in the seal would be there. Now with the update it is not saved. I would need to make the sign-in seal each time, which defeats the purpose. Are there settings I need to do in order for this to be saved all the time?
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

I'm running Firefox on an imac, no seal will display I can't even upload and save a seal, text or graphic. This issue started today. I have checked to see I was on a legitimate yahoo site. I even added a new yahoo account, the same issue no display or uploading problems I am at a loss to explain the seal issues.
How is that seal saved on your computer?
Is that an image file or a Flash object?
Are there cookies involved?<br />
In the case of the latter, you need to make sure that you allow cookies for the domains that Yahoo uses. -
Trying to find out why my yahoo sign in seal keeps disappearing every time I sign off of yahoo and shut down firefox. When I bring firefox back up and go back to yahoo my sign in seal is no longer there and I have to create a new one
Is that seal saved in a browser cookie or otherwise like a Flash cookie (object)?
You can try to recreate the seal as suggested above.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Yahoo's sign-in seal won't display in Firefox but will in I.E.
My Yahoo sign-in seal worked fine 'til this morning. It'll change the color but won't display the same or new text. Yahoo tech said it's a Firefox problem because it works in Internet Explorer. He dbl-checked that I wasn't on a phishing site.
Any ideas to correct this?
Thx-KateIs the seal a Flash object?
Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

Missing the sign in seal (assuring validity) for Yahoo email sign in page
The sign in seal is an option you build for sign in id and password for yahoo emails. it assures authenticity. It shows up, except on firefox. I would appreciate your comments please.
Thanks in advance..Specifically, it appears the information is stored in the '''YL''' cookie from the ''login.yahoo.com'' domain. Either of the following add-ons can delete all but certain cookies, for those who regularly clear out cookies but need to keep a few.

When I log into Yahoo I'm supposed to get a "sign-in seal" to verify the location is real. Since the upgrade firefox does not show the image. I reset it in yahoo and log out and log in and the seal is there but if I close firefox and then restart it the seal is gone. If I use IE8 the seal is still there. What needs reset in firefox to keep this security feature working?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firfox updated itself to the latest version.That is a know problem caused by specifying the text color as transparent in the stylesheet.<br />
Removing that color rule or specifying a color like black (#000) should fix it.

"security warning .. you have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information .. information that you see or enter on this page could easily be seen by a third party"
why do i not get the sign in security seal offer everyone else does
why do i get the security warning no one else doesWelcome to the Apple Community.
There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple. -
Synching Yahoo Account With Sign-in Seal
Recently, my Yahoo account was compromised, so I changed my password and added a sign-in seal to my account on my PC. However, due to the sign-in seal, it now seems I'm not able to access me Yahoo e-mail from my iPhone.
Does anyone know if there is a way to allow my iPhone to be authorized without removing the seal from my Yahoo account?Unlikely as its a new yahoo feature that the simple email clients was never designed to handle.
You can suggest this to Apple here, but even if successful, it may be a while.

I recently discovered that I could customize a toolbar to hold all my favorite websites and I could thereby reach these sites with one click. A marvelous feature when it's there, but all the icons keep disappearing. I can get them back by downloading the Yahoo toolbar AGAIN and restarting my computer AGAIN, but that's more trouble than typing the URLs to begin with. There's got to be a better way.
I agree, this is very frustrating! Sometimes it loads with no problems, sometimes it doesn't. I have AT&T/Yahoo and really miss the toolbar icons to get to my favorite sites! I hope this can be corrected soon!

Hiya,
Does anyone know if BT Yahoo! have killed off the security 'Sign-In Seal ?'
Because it isn't showing mine anymore when I sign in to BT Yahoo on my home PC, and it isn't asking me if I want to create a new one (like it used to) if I erased my cookies etc. I don't think my sign in page is a 'phising' page, but I'm no expert, so...
Anyone know what has happened to it and do I need to worry?
Thanks for your time.I had the same problem setting up for another user on my lappy. The way around this is when you go to tools then internet options & click, you will then open the internet options window.
This done you would click 'Delete' temporary files,cookies etc.
Once you click on this option it opens another window on top of the existing one 'Delete browsing history'
In this window you will notice various check boxes, Temporary internet files, cookies, history & form data.
The check box at the top of this window is 'preserve favourites website data' check this box and your problem with sign-in-seal should be resolved.
Go back to your default BT Yahoo page & set up your sign-in-seal again. If the default page doesn't give you an option then sign into BT Yahoo ,sign out and the sign-in-seal option should be there. Download your pics/text or whatever, & off you go. BTW you dont need to check the box below your new sign in seal (the one below your user name/password.
Once set-up test by deleting temporary files then open up your browser & your sign-in- seal will still be there.
Good luck
