A Yahoo! Family Account is an account that allows you to control the information your child shares with Yahoo! and to maintain and monitor their account on an ongoing basis.

With your Yahoo! Family Account, you can:

  • Create separate Yahoo! IDs for each child under 13 in your family.
  • Sign in as your child to modify any aspect of their account.
  • Modify your child's account information and other information stored on Yahoo!.
  • Modify your child's Yahoo! Mail Block List and Yahoo! Messenger Friend List and Ignore List.
  • Protect your child from accessing certain age-restricted areas of Yahoo!.
