How do I change my password on yahoo IM?

Can I change my password on my IM Yahoo to be different than my E-mail password?

  • I leave my IM Yahoo on, but don't like the fact that all including my e-mail can be opened because of the same password.

  • Answer:

    .You can not only change your password but also keep your account secure! Here is how. 1. Log in to your Yahoo! Mail account. 2. Click "My Account" at the top of the page, near the middle, where you see "Welcome, your name." It's between "Sign Out" and "Switch Back." 3. Enter your password and click "Continue." 4. Click the Change Password link, located near the top of this page. 5. Enter your Current Password in the space provided. 6. Type your New Password. Note: Passwords are case sensitive (so PASSWORD, PaSsWoRd, and password are not the same). 7. Confirm your New Password by typing it again. A strong password contains a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. 8. Click the "Save" button to put your new password into effect.

No, because your yahoo user name and password is standard for email and messenger. You could create a new yahoo id only for emails and keep one id for messenger.
