Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

That's not a good idea. Sharing your username and password with others is a huge security risk.?

That and most online services have conditions in their terms of service that specifically disallow it.

It would be better to use something like OPML to share the list of feeds. That way you're not "reprinting" someone else's content either. Some publishers, rightly, want their own content published by itself. Not repackaged be someone else.

    I would never allow (willingly anyway) my password to be seen by anyone. It seems to be the case that even the smallest piece of information can be used to profile a false ID

    I am very cautious about this type of thing.

    Um, yeah, don't share your usernames and passwords with people. Also don't give them your address and a key to your house.

    I'm guessing this was supposed to be an answer to someone else's question, but you clicked the wrong button?
