dear ganapathy,
yahoo never asks for passwords, you kept your email address open to public to contact,
from them many people who are interested to read ur personal emails want to any way grab ur password.
they just make an email id with name something official as if it has come from yahoo with subject line and matter with pictures and fonts of yahoo.
but it is designed by themselves with text in it to reply yahoo password and personal information.
If you have already given your password, i would recommend you to change your password as quickly as possible. and never keep same passwords for your different email accounts. if he gets one, he can open all of your accounts.
if its the website asking you to confirm password, becarefull it could be a phishing site, that means someone created a webpage which looks like a yahoo login page, but it is not.
to confirm it is a yahoo page, the website address should always be as this format.

http://***.yahoo.com/
http://***.yahoo.com/*******/*******
but not like this
http://yahoo.*****.com/

the .com or .something should have a / ahead but yahoo before

u get lot of email as i said because your email is available to public.
happy surfing...

I've been asked like 3 times a week.

Answer 3

in some cases, to know if the e-mail is span or not, included in the e-mail is your full name or account number or any other sensitive information. ebay and e-mails from some banks are doing this now so you know it is not spam and you sign in and click the right link. you can just double or triple check each e-mail. but for yahoo, if you're already signed it, there is no other reason for them to be asking for your e-mail id and password again.

Answer 4

absolutely fake. dont disclose ur info.

Answer 5

It's a scam. Yahoo! would never request personal information in an unsolicited email. "Phishing" for your private information These deceptive emails are used to commit identity theft, and lock you out of your yahoo account by changing your password DO NOT respond. See what yahoo say about this with link below.

Yahoo NEVER asks for your passwords to anything. It is a scam artist. Delete those emails, don't even open them. Do not click on any links in them.

Answer 8

I've never got this kind of mail

Answer 9

That may be a bad sign because somebody may be trying to hack you and is trying to ask the secret. If you open the email it can hack you or just give spam. This ain't good...

I've been hacked many times and I know :(

Answer 10

It's from somebody else. Yahoo won't send you an email asking for sensitive information. If they needed info they'd ask you to sign in to their site.
