If an error message does not say so (for any website), there's no certificate issue. Your inability to enter your Yahoo account is not due to a certificate issue but almost certainly to a huge issue that Yahoo has been dealing with. See http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/04/yahoo-goes-down/.

On the off chance that the above is not the case in your situation, you can try these steps: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_CLASSIC&locale=en_US&id=SLN3223&impressions=true. Or submit this dialog for Yahoo login problems.

Certificate errors occur when there's a problem with a certificate or a web server's use of the certificate. A website's certificate identifies the web server and it enables Internet Explorer to establish a secure connection with the site. Internet Explorer can help keep your information more secure by warning you about certificate errors.

How do I know there is a certificate error?
Usually, a blocking page will appear that will warn you about the problem with the certificate. If you choose to ignore the error and continue, the Address bar will turn red and the message Certificate Error will appear in the Security Status bar (next to the Address bar).
