“Hotmail Sign in” is Easy & Secure!

From the interface that people once saw decades ago when hotmail started many things have changed since.
Today even the name has changed from the earlier hotmail to Windows Live Hotmail. Microsoft has classified this product offering as a live product and hence the name change.

Today, if anyone wishes to go for a hotmail sign in, they will have to go to mail.live.com instead of the earlier hotmail.com. For those who are not aware of this and still go to hotmail.com, they will be redirected to this page from there. The user interface does not change.

Here is an overview of the new hotmail sign in as it is today

* The first page that one goes to while signing in is called the “log-in” or the “sign-in” page. Both new users as well as those who already have a hotmail account will come to this page. This log-in page is one of the simplest around today. No hi-fi applets or scripts, no fancy flash banners that do nothing but irritate. But a simple easy loading interface that anyone can understand with just one look!

* The first thing that an existing user has to do is enter his or her email id and her password in the two rows provided at the section on the right. Once these to fields are completed, users are directed automatically to their inbox on the secure server and they can now send and receive emails and carry out other related activities. The website log-in is protected by the latest spam filters. Also, phishing attacks too cannot steal your confidential details from the site thanks to the advanced security levels.

* New users have to go to the section on the left from where they can sign up for a new hotmail account. Once you click on the option, you will be redirected to a form that you have to fill up for getting the account. The details asked include your name, age, sex and other related details.

* One is easily protected from data theft even if they have forgotten their passwords. Moreover, the procedure for recovering a forgotten or lost password is also pretty simplistic and easy to follow. It is this aspect that sets hotmail sign in apart from the many other email accounts available today. Also the 5 Gig-bytes of mail inbox size is an added bonus!

Some facts to remember for Hotmail sign in

1. For a hotmail sign in, the email address can either be “@hotmail.com” or “@live.com.”

2. For your own security, the Windows Live server will automatically log you out of your account every time you close the window or migrate from it to any other website. This protects your confidential details and email inbox from other users who may also have access to the computer that you make use of.

3. If you do not want to be logged out, you can check the “Remember Me” and “Remember Password” options given below the password rows. This will enable the

server to remember your computer’s IP address and log you in automatically when you come back to the site in the future.
