I am unsure if this issue is with Yahoo or with your Node OpenId framework. I have noticed in some senario's that Yahoo's authentication will fail. Please try the following:

Pre Test Steps:
Remove your openId Yahoo trust for the sample application
Log out of Yahoo

Run: node sample.js
Enter: http://me.yahoo.com
On the Yahoo page, log in using your Yahoo account.
Received this error:
Authentication failed: Invalid association handle

Close the popup window.
From the sample.js page, try to log on again to Yahoo.
Received this response:
{"authenticated":true,"claimedIdentifier":"https://me.yahoo.com/a/XXXXXXXXXX","nickname":"XXXXX","fullname":"XXXXX"}

----
I have also noticed issues using Yahoo's alternative logins on the logon page (Facebook & Google). Can you please test those also?
