Brian, Thanks for the share. I was too pissed yesterdy to reply. Now post a sleep, wakeup, and a cold beer, I've come just give up and let M$ just erase my old mid-1990's account and all the stored email. I suppose I am just disappointed that yet another block in the M$ 'wall of shame' is dorked

Duncan, it sounds like some sort of 2-factor authentication has been enabled on your account. It might be part of some new security procedures Microsoft is putting in place, as are many others. When you log in with a normal username and password, you are using something you know (ie your

Winterlight, Thanks for the share. Brian shared this prior. I'm clueless to it. I know M$ seeks a 'Security Code,' but I do not know what it is, and, as I can not log into Hotmail, I can not view my 'Profile' where something may be dorked up. Catch-22. I get it. Just a huge disappointment ATM.

I have two hotmail accounts. I rarely ever go to the hotmail (or microsoft or live or outlook or whatever it is this week), but have tbird pick up my mail. With this thread, I went to www.hotmail.com for both accounts, both of them required a 'verification'. Microsoft insisted that they

Steve, What you share is what I am seeing also. I sort of consider the email addy I use here with the Collective to be my true/real email addy. As a general rulle I never use this addy with commercial/industrial links. That is what Hotmail is/was for. Back in March I started to try and take

Actually, there is more to the story now. I tried to verify the account that had the sbcglobal address as verification. Naively, I figured I could go into settings, change the back email address then verify. Wrong. Everywhere I went, I couldn't change any of my settings without going

Not your fault, Duncan, you don't work for Microsoft ;-). I've got this figured out now. The one big problem with Microsoft is that nothing they do is explained very well. Usually it's technically correct, but practically useless. Go ahead and set the 30 day 'recovery' on your hotmail

Steve, You are correct. I do not 'work' nowhere any longer. I am retired. I thought I borrowed enough smarts to get me to my ultimate 'dirt nap.' I agree with your share. I am sure the M$ is very good at communicating in-house with their 'literati,' but they always to not share with the common
