Do you know what the web server is? Apache? IIS?

Do you have access to the web server settings via a control panel or directly?

If Apache you can use htaccess or if IIS you can use Authentication is IIS.

You password protect a folder where the webpage is located by login to that folder.  That is the way it is done on a normal shared hosting server.  Yahoo may be the same or different.

You can use a javascript to password protect a page with a password. It's not ultra-secure, but it works. If you created a paga named:  "protected.htm" the password required for this script would be "protected"  (no quotes).  Just put this script on any page to show a password box.

The script assumes your pages are in teh same directory and ending in .htm. If it's .html or .php, change the

var suffix = ".htm" to var suffix = ".html", etc.

if your pages are in another directory, you can eliminate the ".htm" and the password will be the folder that is protected. Quick little script, but again ... not ultra-secure. .htaccess is much better.

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>  
<!--  
var suffix = ".htm"  
var pass_msg = "Enter your password below to view your page.<P>";  
function go_there()  
{
location.href = "../" + document.pass_form.pass.value + suffix;
}
document.write('<br><form name="pass_form" onSubmit="go_there();return false">' + pass_msg + '<br><input type="password" name="pass" size="20" value="">' + '&nbsp;<input type="button" value="OK" OnClick="go_there()"></form>');  
// -->
</SCRIPT>
