Sure, it's borderline negligent.
But it's already a godsend compared to what many banks do, storing passwords in plaintext, sending reset passwords via plaintext email, requiring 4-8 character passwords that can only contain digits and a limited set of characters, etc.
I'd be more than happy if any bank would follow Yahoo!'s password standards.
