Yahoo password

I recently got a virus or something causing me to think I should change my Yahoo password. So I did. Now when I bring up Yahoo mail it gives me the login screen. I think it tries to login with my old password. So I have to erase what is typed in there, and put the new password.

I want to have it save the new password so I don't have to retype it all the time. I guess under settings I could have it clear all passwords, but that would do just that. Clear all passwords, like throwing the baby out with the bathwater or hunting a mosquito with a cannon. Every place a password as remembered for me I would have to enter it again.

Is there a way I can have it just remember a new YAHOO password, but still remember all my other passwords?

Go to Menu-settings-applications, and find your Yahoo Mail app. Click on it, then clear all data and cache.
This way you start from scratch only on your YAhoo mail app.
 
but that requires using Yahoo app instead of internet browser, right?
I had problems with yahoo app. After using, all my messages were still new.
