Problem with the password suddenly failing to authenticate with MSN

Hello. I use Thunderbird version 24.5.0. on a Windows Vista operating system.
I use a pop framework to connect to my email.

My problem is when I try to check my e-mail MSN.com of Thunderbird account, I get the error message:

"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop3.live.com responded: authentication failed"

This just started happening earlier today after having worked well for a very long time. I tried a number of things to solve this problem, including empty them the saved passwords, then reset my password on MSN and then to try the new password and nothing did. If I connect directly from the web browser on e-mail MSN account, it works fine. As far as I can see the password and user name that matches the full email address is entered correctly. Thanks for any help!

OK I solved the problem.

I looked through all the account settings hotmail/msn and found the so-called step 2 audit was active on the account. I do not remember to activate but I disabled it and everything works fine now.

Here is some info on step 2 check and mail apps:

  • Problems with MSN messenger on the Satellite A200-175

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-175 with Vista home premium OEM Act.
    I have this laptop for a year and a half. Right from the beginning I had many problems with MSN messenger. Whenever I'll have conversations, or MSN messenger is just on, it gets bogged down.

    I tried everything to fix the problem:
    -removed MSN and downloaded again
    -tried other versions of MSN
    -tried MSN with and without messenger plus!
    -removed Norton anti virus (a human from a computer store told me that might be the problem)
    -installed new my computer everything
    -Make a new email address (this time it @live instead of @hotmail)
    -stop the Starter sets

    But nothing helps!

    I'm desperate...
    Please, can someone help me?

    Good bye

    I see many things possible were tired and I have o say I would try the same thing, but I lack one important thing;

    Have you installed updates for Vista together? I mean there are a lot of new MS patches and fixes available and new in SP1 came out too.

    So I think you should keep the OS always up-to-date to ensure a good working order

  • Satellite R630 Bios password suddenly failing!

    I have a Satellite R630 since October 2010 and already I had to reinstall Windows 7 due to fun with the OS and various issues, which some will find to bloat ware as Toshiba have packed and some who are with the OS (what a surprise).
    But somethings are to do with the laptop, a space key, which does not always work (esp on the right side) is the least of my problems today.

    With no apparent guest today he asked a supervisor bios password.
    The password that I set, failed. Its reboot then cancelled by asking me the password for the user. But it has not yet.
    I tried all bios passwords I can think, I even plugged in to an external keyboard.
    Nothing, I'm locked out.

    Worse still, when I search on the internet I find that it is not such a rare "feature" of the Bios Toshiba. Is this a case that I need to send it in, or you can access the battery on this model?
    Everyone had it / found a solution?

    Hey,.

    I searched a bit here in the forum and I couldn't t found these similar topics so it doesn t seem to
    be a common problem.

    Fact is if you forgot the password you can t remove yourself. This is possible only from an authorized service provider. So in my opinion, you must contact the guys to get rid of the password.
    I m guys are going to help you :)

  • Problem with MSN for Windows 8.

    I too have windows 8 and msn as my homepage. I like it with the tiles for outlook, etc. But yesterday, he came back to the old version of the msn homepage and I want to know how he swinging back to the new version.

    If you try to change the look of the homepage to view MSN Windows 8 back to Classic view, click on "page options" at the top right of the screen, then click on "go to MSN classic".
    That should return you to the view you are looking for.

  • Navigation problem: published the project navigation fails.

    Hi, I have a problem of navigation: a published project navigation fails after a certain landslide. Slide all have the same setting. What can be the reason? Thank you

    Hi Erik,

    Thank you for all the suggestions. With their help, I could finally identify the problem is with the slide itself and not with Captivate settings. The in-depth slide comparison revealed that one of the links incorporated into the problematic slide caused the stop in the navigation. After the removal of this hyperlink navigation has worked fine. But I can't determine why the hyperlink has been corrupted, the project can be launched very well.

    I thank very you much for all the help!
