Windows live messenger

Afternoon,

Anyone else have problems signing into windows live messenger? From late last night till today, everytime I try to sign in, it either says "there is a problem with your windows live i.d" or it says the password or email address is wrong.

I havnt changed the password and its happening on multiple accounts, I cant sign in to hotmail to read emails either.

Anyone else having these problems?

Thanks.

Ok thanks guys, I've had to go through the reset password steps to access my accounts.

It seems very strange that 2 seperate accounts have had to do this at the same time. Was starting to think they have been hacked.

Fine for me.
I worked for the MSN team a while back. I would *strongly* suggest ensuring that your security is up to date.
Add a safe computer, alternative email. Ensure your password is strong, and that you have all the correct information in (name, address etc). Or at least, keep a copy of the information you use for that account. In the event you do get hacked/compromised, you'll have no trouble getting the account back.

I went on GTA IV earlier and it wouldn't log in at all. I tired to log in through Hotmail and I was forced to change my password, it was fine after that.
