The question lacks sufficient facts. Is it legal for me to store my login credentials for various websites in a password management program, of course. And it is legal for the program to store them with my consent.
Is it legal for Yahoo to store my Facebook login with my consent. Sure why not, all you are doing is facilitating linking of the two websites.
Can you be more specific if you have another question in mind.
