| | Login password not recognized Almost every time or every other time I log into Hotmail I get a red error message that says, "The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please retype the e-mail address and password, or sign up if you haven't already done so. Need help signing in?" THE PASSWORD IS CORRECT. Why does it always take two tries before it accepts the password? I am very frustrated. I thought Hotmail was supposed to be MORE user friendly and not less. |

| | Re: Login password not recognized Two other possibilities. 1. Passwords are case sensitive 2. Your keyboard sometimes omits character(s) from the password. That is a real possibility, if you are using a wireless keyboard and the keyboard batteries require replacement.
