Change the hotmail password. How to change the password in Windows Live Hotmail

Periodically change the password of the web services that we access regularly it never hurts. In addition, it is a very simple task that requires a few very simple steps. If we want to select a secure key that is difficult to decipher, if not impossible, we can go through the article in which I indicate the steps to follow to make our password completely secure.

Sure, in this life there is nothing, but if we want to make the work of data thieves difficult, it is best to make their work as difficult by using complex keys.

In this article we are going to tell you how to change the password of Hotmail and Outlook services. As most of you will know, the Hotmail email service has been renamed Outlook, encompassing all the email accounts offered by Microsoft under this domain.

Steps to follow:

  • Type in the navigation bar of the browser that we use (Explorer, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Opera to name the best known) outlook.com

change-password-hotmail-1

  • If we have configured the browser to keep the session started, the inbox will open directly. Otherwise, the home screen will appear where we must type our email along with your password. We click on our name and it will display a menu, where we will click on Account settings.

change-password-hotmail-2

  • A new tab will open. Within the General Information section, which is displayed by default, we look for the option Security information and password. Click on Change Password.

change-password-hotmail-3

  • Now we just have to write the password that we use to access the service. In the next box we must write the new password, which must be at least 8 characters, case sensitive. In the next blank box we write it again.

If we want to regularly change the password, we can check the last box so that Outlook will remind us every 72 days we must change it.

    Those who cannot change their password should know that it seems to be a general failure that many people suffer when trying. By not happening to me I cannot find a solution to your problem. I'm sorry.

  43.   Vinegar said

    WaYnAcHa is very rare, maybe you have an old operating system. If firefox does not work for you, try Opera, it also fixes these problems. Luck.

    I NEED TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD URGENTLY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE IT, IT WILL BE THAT THEY CAN HELP ME.


  48.   True said

    I think the clue about the problem HOTMAIL SUMMARY OF ACCOUNT «LOADING» is that the new but FORZOZA version of windows live hotmail is THIS VERSION CAN DETECT NON-ORIGINAL VERSIONS OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM IN YOUR MACHINE (in my case WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL EDITION SP2, at To be a GENUINE VERSION THAT WINFOWS ALLOWS TO DOWNLOAD FOR FREE, it looks for the compatibility of another original. For that reason I conclude that it leaves us with the message "loading" when it never will. I have tried on other machines and other ORIGINAL operating systems and with them I can access my account summary. The grace is that either I want to change my password, but close the account. I have found in other pages Direct Link's to close the account but, I repeat, IF YOUR WINDOWS IS NOT ORIGINAL, Windows Live Hotmail will not will allow access to the account settings. I hope to find a way, to control the settings of my hotmail account at ease and piacere. Greetings Vero.

    Why don't they install firefox?

    it weighs nothing, they can have the explorer apart or many other search engines.

    Install firefox and then try again. It's a one-way trip, heh.
