Microsoft Enhances Windows Live ID28.10.2007 00:00 Computers Microsoft Corp. Tuesday expanded the capabilities of its Windows Live ID service by adding support for single sign-on for its Windows Live services and making it possible for users to sign up for an ID from a mobile device.
Microsoft executives posted the updates to Windows Live on separate blog entries. Windows Live ID is the gateway to Microsoft's Windows Live services, which include e-mail, instant messaging, blog hosting and security. Users with multiple sign-ons for various Windows Live services can now unify them through one ID and password, according to a blog entry from Jeff Steinbok, a member of Microsoft's Live Spaces development team. To set this up, users can go to the Windows Live account site and look for the section called Linked Windows Live IDs. A user can add IDs to a single "linked" ID and password so they only need to sign in once to use various Windows Live services. Microsoft also is giving users the ability to sign up for a Windows Live ID from mobile devices, according to a Windows Live Spaces blog post by Phil Holden, director of online services. In his post, he wrote that Microsoft designed to work with built-in mobile phone browsers and users only need a data plan from a mobile carrier to get started. Source: techzonez.comwww.alllee.com |
