    I'm not sure what SSL is but here is a picture of what it looks like when I go to one of several websites for which I have logins set up. In this case the site is EatYourBooks and RoboForm recognizes that and sets up the button for me to click which logs me in.

    I looked at your code. You are engaged in a prohibited activity:

    Yahoo! Terms of Service

    Section 18:
    You agree not to access the Yahoo! Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Yahoo! for use in accessing the Yahoo! Services.
    Yahoo provides APIs for access to the few services they do allow users to automate, after accepting additional terms. The web scraping you want to do isn't legal.

    I might be wrong here but doesn't the software communicate with the database to modify the user details then compares the information in the username text and password box in the software to the information in the database. The username and password are entered by the user via the registration page.
    when you quote a post could you please do it via the "Reply With Quote" button or if it multiple post click the "''+" button then "Reply With Quote" button.
    If this thread is finished with please mark it "Resolved" by selecting "Mark thread resolved" from the "Thread tools" drop-down menu.

    dilettante: Correct me if I am wrong.. If I create a tool to automate my login and the login happens through that interface then I don't see a violation in their terms and conditions.

    For example If my tool opens IE using CreateObject and navigates to their "Interface" and then fill the username and password and then "clicks" the "Login" button.

    I can't imagine Yahoo would have any problem with that.
