O.P. Passport Credentials
Hey,

I have alot of people adding me to msn messenger with all sorts of different email names..like eg. yous@love.com etc. I know they created credentials from the passport site which can be used on msn messenger etc. I dont understand how they change their display names on msn messenger. I tried once to change my name and I couldnt. Let me know.

if your not using a hotmail or msn account for your MSN, then when you signed up, it sent a confirmation e-mail to your e-mail address, in order to change your display name, you have to click the link in that confirmation e-mail

RE: Passport Credentials
Go to Tools > Options > Personal and change my display name. If you cant do it there. I think youll need to activiate your account for passport accounts. This option can be found in File > Activate or something similar. And you can also change your name without doing this. That can be done using MP!L. Go in an conversation window and type "/nick <preffered nickname>". But ill suggest you to activate your account :cheesy:

Ok Thanks, I tried doing that. But I cant get into the email I created to click the link. When I signed up for a non msn /hotmail account...where will they send the link to verify the email address if I cant get into the email I created?...Or is there a way to get into the email account? Let me know...Thanks

You need to sign in @ the place where for you@love.com inbox is. Youll get the confirmation mail there :).

RE: Passport Credentials
Check where you usually receive emails from. Lets just say I want to use my email address that my isp gave me I would still have to use a program like Outlook express (I don't use outlook express ¬¬) to check my emails. I wont be able to click the mail icon to find my emails.
