Description Johannes Rohr 2014-10-10 21:14:24 UTC 
When trying to add a yahoo account, I get an empty  window. When clicking the close button, the following message appears in a popup:

Expected status 200 for getting a Request Token, instead got status 401 (Forbidden)
Comment 1 Debarshi Ray 2014-10-11 08:30:41 UTC 
The Yahoo! provider is not meant for general consumption. Even if it worked, there are no applications that are using Yahoo! accounts from GOA.

It is not enabled by default, so it looks like either you or your distribution explicitly enabled it.
Comment 2 Johannes Rohr 2014-10-11 09:00:47 UTC 
I sure didn't. I am running Debian Sid, and it comes with the Yahoo provider enabled.
Comment 3 Debarshi Ray 2014-10-11 12:32:49 UTC 
I see. Maybe you can file a bug against the Debian package asking them to turn it off. Even if you could add an account, it won't do anything because there are no applications using it.
