Hi everyone,

I have been using msn at my brothers house and now it signds into my account automatically when someone connects.

I want to get rid of this as i dont want other people using my account.

Any help will be appreciated.

You can remove your passport from the list by going to tools > options > general..under sign-in accounts and passwords click "change". Remove your passport from that list.

Or:

- exit MSN
- go to start > run
- type: control userpasswords2 <enter>
- go to advanced tab
- click passwordmanagement button
- remove your passport

Now restart your MSN Messenger an you will see you need to type in a password again, it will keep askin you too aslong as you don't tell MSN Messenger to remember you  ;)

I tried this awhile ago to try and remove a passport I was using for testing and MSN Messenger 7.5 does not store the information in this location anymore :S

:o

Sorry for not knowing that, i still prefer MSNM 7.0.0816 (the amount of updates is one of the things that put me off).

Have you found where it stores it in MSNM 7.5? Is there any link in MSNM 7.5 itself through wich you can access that list? Maybe the "forget me" jow cool talked about? I've never seen this before either because i prefer not to store my passwords (i type it in myself every time).
