Can I share my password with my family and friends?

You should not share your password with anyone. Your password will permit others to access your AOL screen name and hence your email and online identity.

Don't ever give out your password in instant messages, email or in a chat room. Remember: AOL will never ask you for your password over the telephone, in an instant message or in a chat room.

If you have already given someone your password, you should change it immediately by signing-on to AOL and going to AOL Keyword: Password.
