Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / July 20042 Entries in "Manage Network Passwords"
I have a hotmail account I use to sign-in the Windows Messenger. I then have an email account in Outlook Express from my local ISP. I have only used one passport to sign into Messenger and Internet Explorer. When I open the Manage Network Passwords screen there are 2 entries there. One has my hotmail account listed next to (Passport)--the one under that just says Passport.Net\*Passport. What is the difference and why 2 accounts? Greetings Lori, The Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry is your saved Passport password. When you save your Passport, this account is automatically generated. If you do not wish Messenger or Windows to automatically sign you in with your Passport, simply delete this account. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.

One with my passport listed and another without a passport listed. I have noticed this on other XP installs that I have done as well. > Greetings Lori, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > just says Passport.Net\*Passport.

That's just how it works. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.
