Not long if you have the key. :) I wonder if Yahoo really is using a PIN rather than an alphanumeric password? That would reduce the possible combinations considerably, meaning that the system would be vulnerable to brute-force attacks. I'm just going to assume for the sake of my sanity that they mean a normal password when they say "PIN." (I could actually go look myself, but that would require two more clicks of the mouse than I'm willing to give.)
