As it should. You don't want to store password information in a cookie,
that's why yahoo requires you to reenter each time.

The only thing a site should keep in a cookie regarding username and
password is the username. yahoo (as well as many other sites) offer the
option of saving the username in a cookie so that when you get back to
the site your username is automatically filled in. it probably helps
relieve the "i forgot my username" emails.
