    Passwords are secret because no one else is supposed to know them or be able to figure them out. What you see on TV is baloney. If you don't know the password, and can't change it with whomever is holding the account, then you're out of luck.

    Yahoo doesn't keep a record of past passwords. If you can't get into an account you have to try and contact them.

    Again, they don't keep a history. When you change your password they don't keep track of old ones.

    If you have mozilla Firefox it keeps all that, what you have to do is go to tools on the top of the page, then options, the security, then saved passwords, then a box with pop up and click on show all passwords.
