Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear...I think my YAHOO account may have been compromised, and I need to know how it's configured on my Mac to get to the password change dialog...

Well, open the system preferences->Internet accounts and you find the account there and change the password

Your current password should be stored in the Keychain .. have a look and when you're prompted for password after having choose to show the password, remember that you need to put you Mac's password.

Of course, before to change the password on the Mac, I would try to restore the security of the Yahoo account.

If you think your Apple ID has been compromised, follow what described here: If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

Said that, after all what happened with Yahoo account ... I would not trust them and definitely I would keep different passwords.
