pikablu0530 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) 1. Go to https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf register an passport account with a NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email address 2. Sign in to http://login.live.com with your passport that you just registered. 3. Paste https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx into address bar. 4. Edit your registered information, input your birthday (18+) and change your Country/Region to 'United States'. 5. Paste https://account.live.com/LoginChangeName.aspx to address bar, then your can change your passport to @live.com. Note: - If you do not change to US (skip step four), you'll get @windowslive.com domain address - If you change to 'China', you'll get @live.cn domain address - If you change to 'Korea', you'll get @live.co.kr domain address and so on... - It seems like Windows Live Mail only works with @live.com and @live.co.uk addresses at the moment - Please note that after migrating to @live.com domain, your previous NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email address will no longer be associated with passport - Currently, it only works for NON-HOTMAIL/MSN email addresses (in Step 1) Update: It appears that Microsoft has fixed the exploit and the Email Change page in step 5 is no longer available. If you have not gotten a new email address, you will have to wait until they are publicly available.

fishrman Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 ^^ On their (Microsoft's Windows Live peeps') blog announcement about the June 20th date, they said it would be a few weeks/ "some time" after the @windowslive and @live addressess go live that they will allow for the migration of accounts -- its in the works, but it will take some time.
