Parti and design sandwich must not have contributed to the whole concept of Yahoo ID and log-in to the yahoo services network. It's a total head banger for those of us with bad memory and a mozilla browser that won't save yahoo user id nor yahoo password. I would love a whole dissertation on the usability principles of making password recuperation so frustrating a process and an obligatory step before accessing flickr accounts.
