Chats refer to any kind of communication, or messaging, over the internet. It traditionally refers to one-on-one messaging through a text-based client referred to as instant messaging programs. Now days, it includes instant messaging and direct messaging that can happen through Facebook, Google+ and Twitter - where people can send private messages to one person, or to a group of people (in the case of Facebook and Google+) and have conversations with them while logged into social media accounts.
A friendly reminder: never share your passwords with anyone via chat or any other method. I know a lot of people do this and it's just a bad idea in general. I also suggest never talking about private or confidential information via any form of chat. You never know when something will happen and chats become public or someone hacks an account and acquires the chat you thought was going to be private.
