Do you always use the option where your computer logs in automatically whenever you access sites such as MSN Groups? Because I see all these problems people have of being locked out of their MSN Passports when their computer packs a sad, or they change computers, yet I have never ever had any problems with actually signing in. But I have never allowed a computer to remember my passwords and log me in automatically. I always log-in manually and I do it via lots of different computers - my own two laptops, a PC that I still fire up occasionally, numerous computers at work, computers at friends' places, internet cafes; and I have never ever not been able to log-in (apart from when MSN was going mental occasionally), which tends to make me wonder if people get lazy and rely on their computer doing everything for them, then when something goes wrong with their computer, it all turns to custard. Remember too that I have created a huge number of Passports purely for storage purposes, then after uploading 3MB of files, have simply discarded them and created more. I never have any problems accessing those Passports either, although the passwords on them do become defunct if you don't log-on for many months; however that isn't a problem because I have no use for them once a particular Passport has been used to upload 3MB of files. The other thing is....do you have an alternate email address associated with your Passports? Because if you do and it all turns to custard, you can use various tools at MSN to get their system to create a new random password and email it to your alternate email address. You can then use that new random password to log-in, then change it to something you can remember easier. I've used that a couple of times when MSN's system would no longer recognise my password for some reason.
