Okay, this has been going on for…years now. I just got so used to it that I didn’t really notice it. That’s not quite accurate. I noticed it, but got used to it.
Anyway, the bug is very simple. Every time I need to log into Hotmail or any other Microsoft service that requires a Live ID (most recently, Azure Services), I have to login twice. The first time, I am told my email address and/or password is incorrect, then I use the same info again, and it works.
Now, it may be that I have some neural glitch that I incorrectly type my password EVERY SINGLE TIME the first time and then correctly type my password EVERY SINGLE TIME the second time, but I doubt it. I tend to always save my email address so I only have to enter my password. And I use Maxthon as my IE type browser instead of IE itself. I should remember to test different combinations of browser.
But, it is really weird.
