Hotmail signing in problem :/ by smiley.:) on 02-07-2009 at 08:13 PM
I've recently downloaded the latest version of msn messenger, but the problem is that whenever I click the email, I have to type in my password again to get into my email account. Before it would access my email automatically when signed into msn. I don't know how to fix this, please can someone help me? I tried uninstalling msn and installing it again but it doesn't work

Go to www.hotmail.com and click on Sign in with a different ID, enter your e-mail and password then make sure Remember me on this computer and Remember my password are ticked.

That won't work. The solution is to use Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox doesn't actually remember the password
EDIT: ...and i think that problem showed up in WLM 2009 (newest) version
I guess they hate other browsers and want people to use Internet Explorer...
But IE always sucked someway for me, i can't explain...

Hey, I checked and it saves them, but I don't know why it won't go onto email viamsn beucase before I upgraded it would go onto email automatically without asking for password. I'm so confused becuase its annoying to keep typing in the password becuase I don't like the format of the messengers email service, I LOVE hotmail!!!

Maybe it could be the fact tht I am on mozilla firefox. Anyone know how to revert it back to internet explorer?

I got it to sign i automatically but to do that I had to make IE my default browser , I like firefox as that, but am still using mozilla and only usin IE for emails. Anyone know what default browser means?!

I have very similar problem,WLMplus simply won´t remember my pass and username,when I restart PC or shut them off and next time run WLM:8.1 with messenger plus!live add on (4.80.0.356) I need to enter password and username again and again to turn on remember me an remember my password !
This started to happen after updating WLM from 8.1 to 2009 version (14.0.8024), but still remains after reinstalling 8.1. version.
Probably this is related with spyware but I would like to hear some opinions form other users,although It would be ideal to hear some expert opinion especially if it will be from MSN support.
Looking forward to your replies,especially to your help
P.S.
Option Allow automatic sign in when connected to internet turned on, Option This is shared computer... is turned of
