My wife's Yahoo mail account is acting weird.
She can login to Yahoo and change account settings, etc: login.yahoo.com. We've changed her password.
Weirdly, she cannot access yahoo mail: mail.yahoo.com.
Basically, we enter her user ID and password and the login just reappears (loops).

The problem is probably cookies. Try deleting the cookies associated with yahoo.com. @bytesum gives a good comment to your original question, with Google's descriptions of how different browsers handle cookie management.
Easy ways to tell if this is likely to work? Go to a different computer (previously unused by your wife and not known itself to have any problems logging into yahoo) and try there; or use a different web browser on the same machine and see if that works.

Try using another browser.... Firefox seems to be the best, especially beefed up with EFF plugin to have end-to-end SSL, namely keeping network-sniffing malware away from your passwords, or even better - all your mails.

If you plan to salvage this answer by saying that using the HTTPS Everywhere add-on will solve the problem, please elaborate. Currently, this post is just a passing comment...

Try deleting browser cache & cookies. If you don't know how, Google has instructions for all major browsers: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
