Just like Google, Microsoft, and also their search engine Bing provide services to webmasters and general users of their services. To use these services you have to sign up for a Windows Live Id.

The email address you use here will be your Windows Live Id (user name). It will also be used when you forget your password to send reset your password instructions.

It is best to use a longer password with about 7-16 characters, mixing letters, numbers, and mixing upper and also lower case letters.

You can open a new tab in your browser and use PCTools Secure Password Generator to create one.

Write it down! Because once you close the tab it will be lost.
