It seems that the guys at Yahoo are updating their servers and they are using a new authentication system. As a workaround until Pidgin is updated you can add cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com in the Pager Server field. To get to this field, in Pidgin, click on Accounts, then on your Yahoo account, next on the Modify button and last on the Advanced tab of the window that just opened.

Yahoo are updating their servers and they are using a new authentication system.

just a side remark, they are not using a new authentication system, they are just retiring YMSG 13 protocol which many third party clients are using

the full effect will be on August 2009
