Help ;\ Msn wont let me sign in with gmail ;s by Emmor on 06-12-2006 at 06:15 PM
I started having problems with msn since yesterday.
I was on my hotmail and i noticed it said signing in when i wasn't someone then said i was on web messenger, i managed to sort it out, it was just my msn being stupid or something.
But i use hotmail for email to my family and GMAIL for my msn and other emails etc.
Msn wont let me sign on on any of my gmail accounts it says ' wrong password or username ' or whatever it usually says if you've typed your user or pass in wrong.
The thing is i can sign onto my GMAIL email and the password and uesrname is fine, its just msn.
Its never done this before and i don't know what to do. I've reinstalled msn, wiped my computer && tried on 2 more computers and it still doesn't work : ( i really want to get onto my msn >_<
Any suggestions?

You have created a passport account using that gmail address haven't you?

Go here and register the gmail/googlemail account. Then you should be able to sign into MSN/WLM. Be sure to verify the account so that you can change your nickname and get more features.

keep in mind that gmail and MSN (passport.net) services have nothing to do with each other, you have to register a www.passport.net account using you gmail direction to be able to use it in MSN, remember that they DON'T HAVE to have the same password as they are completely independent.
If you already have registered a passport.net account using your gmail mail, please, check that the pasword is the correct one.

passport and windows live id are the same thing with different names, aren't they?
If they aren't then perhaps that's the problem

Yes, it's the same thing
In summary, it's been Passport > .NET Passport > Microsoft Passport > Windows Live ID over time.
