How to protect your Hotmail account using a secure connection provided

Windows Live Hotmail has added a new feature I'm sure he will very happy to many users is that after you left Firesheep The Firefox extension that allows you to get you to accounts from several sites, including Windows Live Hotmail The only way to keep ourselves be bugged another person is to always use HTTPS instead of HTTP, which means that we must write https: / / Www.hotmail.com instead of http: / / Www.hotmail.com And now to go to Hotmail using HTTPS you will display a warning that allows you to configure the use of HTTPS permanently.

Although some time ago I wrote about some Firefox extensions that allow you to protect yourself from theft and espionage accounts as Everywhere HTTPS and Everywhere HTTPS No doubt this new option is much better as Hotmail automatically activated whenever the protocol HTTPS regardless of the browser you use or the computer.

The biggest drawback to set HTTPS in Hotmail for ever it will cause errors if you try to access Hotmail through programs such as:

  • Hotmail Outlook Connector
  • Windows Live Mail
  • Applying Windows Live for Windows Mobile and Nokia

So if you only need to use HTTPS temporarily, type https: / / instead of http:// in the address.

Note: Some users can not enable the use of HTTPS forever in your account Hotmail because they get a message that says: Your Windows Live ID can not use HTTPS automatically because this feature is not available for your account typexi
