Hotmail Login Few Steps

Log in securely to your e-mail service - This is how you use the webmail service and your mail program with Hotmail

The Hotmail service, launched in 1996, was bought out by Microsoft the following year for US $ 400 million and integrated into the Microsoft Network ( MSN ). This webmail service ran under the name Hotmail until 2013 and was eventually incorporated into the Microsoft Outlook service.

Since then, all (old) Hotmail accounts have been managed in the new Microsoft Webmail service from Outlook; but still work with the known @hotmail addresses.

You can still reach the login page (the Hotmail login page )  hotmail - here an automatic forwarding takes place, which shouldn't confuse you at this point. You can also access the webmail service directly from loginlive .

How to securely log in to the "Hotmail" webmail service

Attention: Pay attention to the encryption!

When using Hotmail, log into your email inbox at loginlive in your browser (Firefox, Edge, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer , etc. ) .

Microsoft (Hotmail) Login-Formular

As a provider, Microsoft has already focused on security and only provides the e-mail service in encrypted form via HTTPS. Even if the HTTP protocol, which is transmitted in plain text, is called up, the browser automatically redirects to the SSL-encrypted login page. This means that it is not possible for third parties within a network ( e.g. in a public WLAN, company network , etc. ) to eavesdrop on the data traffic or read out the access data.

However, every time you log in, you should take a quick look at the green security lock and the HTTPS protocol in the browser's address bar. If there is a problem here, for example if the connection is classified as insecure, it is better not to log in. If there is a problem on the part of the provider, it can sometimes help to reload the page (key combination [CTRL] + [F5]) or to close and restart the web browser.

Use a strong password

The most important thing, of course, is that you use a secure password for your Hotmail login and that you do not reveal your access data to anyone, that you have it open somewhere and that you do not save it in your browser, if possible. The latter is practical, but unfortunately it can also be quite unsafe.

Use Microsoft's webmail "Outlook" (Hotmail) via browser

For many, it is a convenient matter to access, manage, write and read e-mails right in the browser. It doesn’t matter which one you are sitting at or whether you “quickly check your e-mails” while on the move.

With Outlook (formerly Hotmail), these tasks can be excellently done. The webmail interface is tidy and all important points are easy to find. About the settings the color of the surface can be adapted to your own wishes, the language can be configured, rules and filters set and all conceivable options relating to the mail service can be edited find out more on logins base official website.

Do you regularly use Hotmail via your web browser?

Then simply set up this address as the start page in the browser or add this page to your bookmarks (favorites, bookmarks).

Forgot Password

If you've forgotten your access data, that's no problem for the time being. Under the item "Can't access your account?" An assistant can be started which will try to make your login data accessible again with the help of selection questions.
