This is exactly the reason why we require that the Yahoo Login screen 
always appear in the the entire browser window, with the address bar 
displaying https://login.yahoo.com.

We do not allow the Yahoo Login screen to be framed, and we encourage 
all users, especially OpenID users to setup an anti-phishing Sign-in 
Seal, which is a customized image that's displayed next to the Login form.
