Hi,

Where does msn store the passwords of email accounts?

RE: stored passwords
Whilst it is technically possible to retrieve stored Messenger passwords, you should think about why you’re actually asking.

  • Is it because you forgot your own Messenger log-in data?
    Reset your password on the Windows Live ID Account website.
  • Is it because you want to obtain other user’s data to access their Windows Live Account?  Bad boy then.

You have a problem or issue with Windows, Internet
Explorer or Office?

Yea that must be it.

You don’t have to know the respective passwords for that.  Just sign in once for each account that you want to connect to.  Furthermore, there is already a script for this purpose:
