MSN Account Invation Had Been Attempted

Just got an MSN message from a MSN contact regarding some new photos being published which needed my MSN login to access those photos. As soon as I inadvertently signed in, I realized it was a hoax! So I quickly tried to change my password for MSN Live Messenger only to find out there is no such function within the official client software application! A quick search found a site provided with a link for just that purpose which sent me to some “support.microsoft” site as it asked me to sign-in to my account. I thought that was kinda strange, so I went to www.msn.com instead which I know it is a legit site and signed on there.

The “change password” function was still nowhere to be found but I finally got it done on one of the sign-in pages in Microsoft. More searches revealed the account.live.com site that gives me the function. I had signed in through www.msn.com and got there with the function ready for me without asking me
to sign-in again, so I think it is legit. Do so at your own risks only.

PITA in this electronic age!
