Identity Confirmation

I am regularly (average 5 times a day) asked for an identity confirmation
when using hotmail. How do I make that go away? (I use my hotmail account for
business and this is really annoying.)

Web Interface or Windows Live Mail ?


Go to account.live.com, logon with username/pw and if and when prompted for verification follow the instructions.

You actually use Hotmail for business? Big mistake!

Winston - We have a similiar problem. Have no trouble logging on and reading
or sending new email. Have trouble when trying to forward a message. Almost
every time forwarding, it will not "send" the message but returns the
"Identity Confirmation" dialog where you have to enter the alpha/numerics
displayed in oddball shapes - I think this is called a "captcha" or something
like that and is supposed to prove you are a real person and not a spamming
computer. This happens almost every forwarding and is too time consuming to
make Win LIve useful.
