Hotmail's forgotten me

[Big Chris]

For yonks when I went to sign into Hotmail on my laptop (running both IE9 and FF5) it remembers my email address and prompts for my password. This is because at some stage or other I've clicked the 'remember me' button (there was also a 'Forget me' button).

Now however I have to type my address in each time and there's no 'Remember Me' option that I can see, although there is an option to stay signed in all the time, which I don't want.

Am I missing something?

Also have this!

Was a bit annoyed.

Annoying the hell out of me too in IE8.
I can't get it to ask me to save a Username/password for one of the Support Websites I use daily.

Using Hotmail on Chrome. Same here. Really annoying.

Same here, so annoying. And i just updated firefox because google+ made me do it, now every single website has forgotten my login details.

I've seen this happen at work for some people, but not others. Strange.

Also I've just been in to change my password and it kept chucking me back to my inbox. Something odd going on at the moment.

Same here. Not my main email and is full of spam anyway but still a pain.

Ditto here, irritated me so much I moved everything to Gmail.

Anyone find a fix for this?

Create a bookmark with this as the URL:

javascript:(function(){var%20df=document.forms,dfe,i,j,x,y;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.attributes['autocomplete']){x.attributes['autocomplete'].value='on';}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes['autocomplete']){y.attributes['autocomplete'].value='on';y.style.backgroundImage='url(http://robbiekhan.co.uk/root/randompics/emoticons/fm/laugh.gif)';y.style.backgroundRepeat='no-repeat';y.style.backgroundPosition='center%20left';y.style.paddingLeft='22px';}}}})();

Then once you've entered your username/email address on the logon box and your password simply click the new bookmark. This will force your browser to remember the username and password, a sort of workaround to the "remember me" box you had before.

This works fine on Firefox, may work on IE too...
