I have exactly the same problem - I cannot sign into discussions
Yet in another Tab I have my live.au email account open . I thought the
Live Users Id and Password were my Passport user Id and Password - the
signin screen is EXACTLY the same screen
My Outlook gets mail from my Live mail account using same user id and
password
