Hi, try changing it to the same one.
So, if it's "password", but that in all 3 boxes.
Hope it works, good luck.

Thanks a lot, Yes I have tried entering the same password, however that is makes no difference. As I have faced this test of message"The new password you entered is not valid. "
Do you have another idead, please?

OK. I assume it keeps asking you to change it because it believe's your account could have been breached.
If there is no tick box for "Never show this again" or something, then change it to the same thing with a full stop at the end, or a number or letter, so it's similar, then either keep that or look at your account options and change it back to what you want.
I'm on Yahoo! and I've never experienced this error.
Good luck.

Yes, I know that now a problem for me to change the password even all of it, but I very surprised why did this happen ? And if my account has been broken then why is still open as far?
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

I cant say for sure, but there must be a reason, Yahoo! wouldn't just randomly do it. I recommend you to change it, it won't do much harm and it would be a lot safer.

This what I have found out about my probem:
What to do if your account is repeatedly flagged as compromised
Text Size: click to change font size to small A click to change font size to normal A click to change font size to large A ID: SLN2157
Description
This article explains what may be causing your account to be locked as compromised.
Resolution
There are a couple of different reasons why our system may continue to flag your account as compromised:
*Our system does not allow you to use a password that is the same as or similar to a password that you have used in the past. If our security system believes that your password is insecure, you will be asked to change it.
*Another common cause for this password "trap" is IP (Internet Protocol) activity. If multiple emails are sent from your account with IP addresses that indicate access from multiple geographical locations in a short period of time, then you will be prompted to change your password as well.
*It is also possible that this password prompt is in error, and no intrusion has occurred in your account. If you have been traveling recently and have accessed the account from multiple locations, I might help us to know those details. Additionally, if you use software like "Anonymizer Universal" to protect your online identity, we recommend that you disable such software before accessing Yahoo!.
If none of these situations apply to you, and you continue to receive a message stating that you need to change your password, please contact Customer Care.
But no one of them is as my situation. so please contact Customer Care.

OK.
To contact the customer care, log on to the mail, at the top, click Help. Under the help list, choose Help again. You should be taken to a new page. Once here, click "Contact Us" located on the top section. If you're having trouble locating it, here's the link.
https://uk.help.yahoo.com/kb/account
Then, select the big purple box in the middle to talk to a Yahoo! agent.
Hope it works. Good luck.
