How to get a live.com email! by Nathan on 12-17-2006 at 02:08 PM

Ok guys,

After going onto the domains.live.com and searching in the code a bit i found a little hack.
I do not know if this is already found but meh:

The hopefully foolproof instructions:

  1. Go to Domains.live.com
  2. Click "Get Started"
  3. Click the radiobox next to "Use a domain I already own"
  4. Type in an address you can use sub ones as well e.g "php.cloakshape.org"
  5. Then click then radiobox next too " Create a new Windows Live ID in your domain"
  6. Now you will be on the form bit,
  7. If your using firefox do this: Click on "View" then "Page Style" then "No Style"
  8. If your using IE I havnt found away yet so download firefox
  9. Now Click on the radiobox next too: "Create a Windows Live e-mail address"
  10. Now just fill in everything and click "I accept"
  11. Ignore the little box at the bottom saying: "We are working to fix a temporary problem with our sign-up service..."
    [/list]

    If you need any help just post it here and ill try and help you ;)

WOW :O Nathan you're a genius...

that way works well! can you use it with your own domain? (eg. .OxY@Oxy.net)


RE: How to get a live.com email! by ins4ne on 12-17-2006 at 02:20 PM

Ya. It should normally work with every domain you own :).

I am surprized though I never would have thought that there would be a glitch in the website to get a live account.

It's MS :rolleyes:. They will never learn to secure their things :zippy:.

New hack puts @live.* addresses up for grabs again
dwergs says:
     

In November we published a hack which allowed you to register @live.* addresses ahead of the game, and it took Microsoft long enough to fix the hole for ten thousands of us to get our hands on some good-looking, tiny account names.

Last Tuesday however, a Chinese blogger called xuybin published a new method to register any free @live-account of your choice. Just like our trick a month ago, his hack spread like wildfire (especially within the Chinese blogosphere) but amazingly enough it still hasn't been blocked by Microsoft. Maybe this is bound to change now that picturepan2 has nicely translated the step-by-step instructions into English for us. Here they are, and note that you need Firefox 2 or upwards.

1) Go here.
2) Click "Get started", under "Use a domain I already own" enter any domain you like.
3) Select "Create a new Windows Live ID in your domain".
4) Select View > Page Style > No Style. Ta-dah! The input box was hidden using CSS!
5) Select @live.com from the dropdown.
6) Select "Create a Windows Live e-mail address" and continue the registration.

Get one while you still can!

UPDATE: LiveSide adds that you need to log into mail.live.com in order to activate e-mail on your newly created account(s).

UPDATE #2: According to Messers Tutsumi and Maxtoid, the hack has now been disabled.

UPDATE #3: ...but many others are still able to succesfully register new @live.* accounts.
