Customers of broadband ISP BT Yahoo!, specifically those operating off the latest website browsers (IE v7, Opera and Firefox v2), have found themselves unable to change passwords:
Attempting to visit BT's password changing site using IE 7 just gives a blank page, while Firefox 2 offers some explanation:
Firefox can't connect securely to register.btinternet.com because the site uses an older, insecure, version of the SSL protocol.
Opera 9 is the most helpful, with instructions on how to enable the insecure protocol. Switching to Opera was the advice given to one reader, who contacted BT to report the problem, though even Opera can't complete the process.
The Register reports that BT is working on a fix.
