I've been noticing with greater regularity this abusive behavior by Yahoo, and I want to get around it.

Exactly. Yahoo Mail these days is everybody's throwaway account. You're not supposed to look at it so often that their ad blocker nag becomes an annoyance.

I'm pretty sure Yahoo sees your ad blocker as abusive behaviour.

My feeling is that if you use a site regularly, then whitelist it. Unless it's one of those greedy buggers with 20+ ads on it, so you can't see the content for the ads. In which case, stop using it! Sites have to make money - it costs to host them - so it's only fair that we accept some ads for a "free service": remember that if you aren't paying for a product, then you are the product being sold! But my default is "no ads" as too many devs are just too greedy.
There are a couple of sites that I decided I wanted to use and whitelisted - then deleted the bookmark, reinstated the blacklist, and never went back after I saw the ads ...

Pay for Yahoo pro? Works in every browser.

All browsers come with a built in add-in for this. It is a little button with label x.

This modal window doesn't have a close toolbutton.

Not on modal window but on the browser window itself.

Hi all!
I'm thinking on start using a password manager.
It starts to be super complicated to remember everything and I'm super tempted to start storing my passwords in text files...  
This said,
1. Do you use them?
2. Do you trust them?
3. Which one do you use?
4. Why?
As always, thank you very much!

I wrote my own, way back when I started learning C# - I keep promising myself that I'll find time to rewrite it, but ... you know how that goes!

I did too. Later in c# when forms were in, before wpf, Infragistics came out with a great set of Windows controls and I wanted to put them to the test. I made a simple table application that allowed column configuration and encryption of the data. I use that for my login info.

Don't like cloud stuff, I use Keepass, cross platform.
Not to big a deal when your only password is 12345678
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

KeePass gets my vote.
I can never fully bring myself to trust a password manager that runs as a browser add-on. It just seems to me like...a bad idea.
Security is best when done in layers. Running a password manager outside the browser process space seems like the least one should do...

My combination is "KeePass" and "KeePass Touch" on iOS with automated data exchange via Dropbox. This combination comes with free apps and no additional cost. The encrypted file is ALWAYS at a safe place in the cloud. This way a change on one device is instantly copied to all other devices without having to take care. Using the password generator at nearly all times makes most of my passwords not memorable and hard to type and therefore secure.
I started with KeePass on Windows a couple of years ago before the big wave of passwords hit us all. I started on Windows only. Later with manual exchange to my mobile. All this was not efficient enough to let me use it at all times. Only the automated data exchange made it attractive. Now it even holds bank account and passport numbers.
It requires some attention to use it at ALL times, even for the simplest websites which are never intended to be reused. The initial work to get everything into the password manager is hard, but keeping it up to date is easy.
Start using a password manager NOW and use it always.

DefinitelyKeePass for me as well. I particularly like the keyfile feature where you need your master password plus a key file/pen/whatever to unlock the database

Me too. easy to use and I keep it on all my machines and sync them periodically.
That way id I add a new PW it wind up everywhere.
Great Stuff! and it's FREE!
My favorite.

It should be definitely an open source project.
I use Keepass, standard client on PC (with download favicons plugin), and Keepass2Android on the smartphone. The database file is in cloud (Google Drive). Nice and easy, I now store everything precious inside my keepass database. In case of an emergency you just have to remember (and maybe pass to others) two passwords: cloud (Google Drive) and Keepass database file.

Same here. I use KeePass with the HIBPOffline plugin (checks "I've been powned" database). I sync the database across my computers and phone on a regular basis.
