Tips and warnings
  • After you’ve changed your Yahoo! Messenger password you will not be signed out of the instant messaging application. But the next time you sign in, remember to type in your new password.
  • Please note that by changing your Yahoo! Messenger password you will change your Yahoo! Mail and other Yahoo! online services password as well. You are not changing the password for Yahoo! Messenger alone, you are changing the password for your Yahoo! Account (the one that you use to access all of Yahoo!’s services).
  • Follow these guidelines to keep your password safe and protected.
