They're trying to scam your username and password. What I usually do in a case like this is send them bogus information, like Beavis for a username and kissmy@ss for a password.

This sounds like a fake. Yahoo wouldn't never ask you for your username and password. I would delete it right away.

It is a phishing scam. If yahoo wants your email address and password they don't need you to give it. Don't give any info.

Ignore it and report this to Yahoo. It's fake.

Don't respond. When Yeahoo terminates you they just erase your account.
