How to get Yahoo! ID (real email) after login with OAuth

Please help me solve this issue please.
I want to get Yahoo! ID ( real email address) of user who loged in through Oauth.
I try to get profile but email shared in profile can be any email address ( not the one user used for login).
How can i get the email user use for login.
I try to user OpenId but any low level hacker can catch data openID return to fake email address.

  • If your goal from getting the mail login id (YID) is to store it in your database as an identifier of the user, it is wrong. For this you "should" use GUID and nothing else.
    If that is not why you want it, please explain your needs and maybe we could come up with something.
