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. Edited June 17, 2006 by pikablu0530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
