I keep getting pop ups telling me to go to settings and put in my password to my yahoo account. I feel this is not a smart thing to do and maybe a scam. What am I supposed to do ? It’s very annoying !

Do you use an App Password? If so, create anew one, and use it. Sometimes, changes are made to your Apple Account, and may server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new app password is intended to fix).

We would need to know more about the context in which you receive these messages.
For example, if you use Yahoo email and the email server lacks your Yahoo password, the request may be legitimate.
However ...
What did Yahoo Support say when you contacted them?
I didn’t contact them. I don’t know how to. The pop ups tell me to go to settings and put my password in . That doesn’t make sense to me.
