It has some sort of a tie-up with Yahoo! It wants ur password so that it could ad contacts from ur address book. Many of my friends are using it. Its totally safe(until now)

I don't think it's safe to give your Yahoo! id and password.
You may have noticed that when you login to Yahoo! mail they show you some tips.They say that never give your password if you are not in the Yahoo! network.
