How Do I Change My MSN Address & Password?
MSN provides a variety of services to Internet users, all accessible with the same user name and password. Such services include Hotmail, Windows Live and MSN Messenger. MSN also offers premium features that require monthly subscriptions, such as premium versions of Windows Live and Hotmail. Changing you password and your secondary email address is a simple process, requiring you to log in to the MSN Passport Account, navigate to your account setting page, and click on the correct links to change your password and your address. Microsoft recommends that you change your password regularly to help prevent someone from hacking into your account.
