Today's Story Highlights

No Need to Waste Brain Space on Yahoo Passwords
The way to permanently cure someone's headache is to cut off their head,
and that appears to be the principle Yahoo has adopted with a new
security policy announced Sunday. Users of Yahoo Mail no longer have to
rack their brains to remember passwords, said Chris Stoner, director of
product management. Instead, they can opt for on-demand passwords after
signing in to their Yahoo.com account.

Banks' Arbitration Clauses May Hurt Consumers: Report
Tens of millions of American consumers use consumer financial products
or services governed by predispute arbitration clauses that may put them
at an unfair disadvantage, suggests a CFPB report released last week. In
some cases, the arbitration clauses are mandatory. Larger banks often
include arbitration clauses in their consumer checking account and
credit card contracts.

FTC Goes to Bat for Duped DirecTV Customers
The Federal Trade Commission last week charged DirecTV with deceptive
advertising practices in a complaint filed in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.
DirecTV, which has been in discussions over a potential merger with
AT&T, currently has more than 20 million subscribers across the United
States.
