some security problem? by roxelana on 09-21-2006 at 06:57 AM
Hello everyone.
I used to use MSN Messenger 7.0 and Messenger Plus until yesterday. The thing I like about the Messenger Plus is : when you open MSN, you know you write your mail address and you write your password and then you have to write another password that is for Messenger Plus. If you don't write that password, your conversations will not be saved or smt like that. Yesterday, I installed Windows Live Messenger, and I updated Messenger Plus too. But now I cannot do the thing I tell you above. I save my conversations in the files with passwords I know, and if someone wants to look at my conversations he/she cannot look at them without that password. But since yesterday, it doesnot need a password when opening.
I'll be glad if you help me.
Thank you.

Thank you. I already did the things you tell. But this is not what I want. I want this : When I started MSN, I enter my e-mail address and my MSN password, that's OK till now. But what I want is -> after this monotone stuff, I want MSN Messenger Plus to ask me a password to save the conversations. Because this used to be the way until I installed Windows Live Messenger and Plus. I said I used to use MSN 7.0 and Plus for it.

He/she/it wants a feature that before Messenger saves convo history, she wants to put a password to do so.

Once you've set your password for log encryption it is remembered for that account. This was so in Messenger Plus! 3 and is still so in Messenger Plus! Live.
Also, entering a password for the log encryption (like asked) is actually a bit useless since you need to log in to messenger first anyways, with the messenger login and password.
In other words, if people don't know the messenger login and password they also will not be able to read the logs or save stuff to the logs.
