How Do I Lock My Yahoo! Chat Account?
As a registered user, you may customize your Yahoo! homepage, as well as check email through the Yahoo! email platform. If you enter your account information in Yahoo! Messenger, you may also chat with other individuals in your contact list. Since Yahoo! ties all of its services into a single account, you must terminate your Yahoo! account if you wish to lock your chat account.
