I may be the scs.msg.yahoo.com server's problem. I have change the default server in login advanced frame to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com which is in china. yahoo can login well and quickly.

Confirmed that cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com works better; and the normal one will sporadically, and after a long time, let us log in... however, the official Yahoo client does not have the same issue so I think it's safe to say that pidgin is doing something "wrong".

Yes its Pidgin, I tried with gyachi which also uses scs.yahoo.com and it logged in within 2-3 seconds. Official Yahoo client has no problem either.

I confirm this bug. Switching on cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com doesn't help. I was able to login yesterday after several attempts, but today I can't login at all. Seems there is no such problem in official client. Also I've found this problem in another alternative yahoo client, so I think Yahoo plots against alternative clients. Too sad :(
