Email Password- strange stuff

Been having problems with email for some time. A box keeps coming up, the sort you have with dialup (we are on broadband).
It has our email address on it, fine, and underneath has password, (series of 6 dots) and a box to click on for okay.
If you click on it a few times, eventually it will authorise and get mail. Irritating but we can live with it.
A couple of mornings it took ages to load, keep clicking OK. Then I noticed that the usual row of 6 dots for our password was now longer. 9 one moring and 7 this morning. Deleted them and put password in & it worked.
Can anyone suggest what is going on? I cant see how the password can change.
