What kind of attempt or technology is this?

I was browsing through my yahoo mail. I went AFK for some time and when I cam back, I got error message from Yahoo stating that my session has expired and I have to re-login again.
When I said OK, I got this thing. Is it legitimate or false?
It has never happened with my before, even when I remain AFK for hours.
How can new window of the login page can be opened explicitly?



As you can see, there are two windows of same login page. One has https and another has no address.
"First the new window appeared, and then I opened yahoo mail in my main Firefox window (with tabs)."

Is this possible?

That never happened to me. Best close it and login through the official site.

hm, also never got something like that....the only halfway similar experience I had was when logging in from a 2nd system at the same time, you get kicked out then and asked for a new login. if you can reproduce that behavior get the URL of the popup (rightclick->get page info)....

This is pretty standard

Yahoo asks for your password again if you are purchasing a service say a domain At least it does for me

It happened again. Look at the address bar. There's nothing.



In the middle of something, that window appeared. I was reading my mail, and it happened like this.

rightclick->view page info
that way you can check the URL and see if it is a legit yahoo page, it definitely also should use SSL.
