• Answer:

  It's absolutely NOT true! That's a phishing scam. Yahoo! (or ANY trusted site) would NEVER ask for your password in an email. We all know that email isn't a secure means to provide information, so we never put passwords, banking or credit card information, or any other identifying type of information in an email. It's a phishing scam set up in hopes of getting that information from people who fall for those scams.
