Tips & Warnings

• Choose a username for Yahoo Messenger that does not reveal much about your personal information. Using your full name, for example, is not ideal if you will be chatting and gaming with strangers.
• Utilize the Yahoo Messenger Help page when you have problems or questions while using Yahoo tools and services (see Resources below). You can access Yahoo help online 24/7 and view frequently asked questions along with step-by-step tutorials on how to use their tools.
• Never give out personal information to people you meet online. Yahoo takes great measures to ensure a secure online experience, but you should never allow a stranger into your personal life by giving them identifying information like your full name or phone number.
