    That aint true the last time i was messing with yahoo protocols i learned 
    alot for them there main ones are called ycht and ymsg and depending on 
    what protocol you use when logging in it will then depend how the 
    password is sent. On the ycht protocol your password will be sent in 
    clear text in the login string i here there is plans for yahoo to stop 
    using this protocol but ymsg it is alot more secure at first ymsg wasn't 
    to great and it had problems where people could authenticate there selfs 
    as any user without there password for a good txt on ymsg9 you should 
    read http://www.venkydude.com/articles/yahoo.htm yahoo is now at ymsg10 
    but it ant much changes from 9.
