I'm Beginning to Hate my Hotmail!

[GradyPhilpott]

Actually, I've made the switch from Hotmail to Outlook.com, but the issue is the same.

Recently, since a big hack against MS and Yahoo, it's getting to be too big a pain in the ass to get into my email.

I type with my keyboard on my lap. I like it that way, but sometimes I'm not as accurate as I could be.

Now, when I try to log into my Outlook.com account, I have to jump through all kinds of hoops because I hit a wrong key and all of this is done, MS claims, to protect me.

If I hit a wrong key, not only do I have to re-type the password, but I have to do one of those "Capcha" things, or whatever it's called.

And not only that, but this stays like this for a period of time and so when I log back in, even if I get it right, I've screwed enough times that they make me type the password, read a scolding notice, re-enter the pasword and the "Capcha" thing.

So, I decided to change my password to something simple. It wouldn't let me, because it has to be a complicated password.

So, I made the password complicated, but less complicated than before and guess what!

I can't change my password because I've screwed up too many times.

I only need email so that I can do business on the internet and sadly, so that a bunch of knuckleheads I gave my email address to can send the most inane BS that fills up their inboxes--oh yeah, and spam.

I'm getting pretty fed up with this situation.
