Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.

How can I check what time and where my last Hotmail login was?

I get questions similar to this a lot.

To the best of my knowledge: you cannot. Period. I know of no way to make it happen.

I'd write a longer article, but really that's all there is too it: Hotmail does not make information regarding your last login, or last login location, available to you.

What is the use of re-setting the password and sending it to your email address if your locked out of your account.......that wasn't very well thought out......

Some one, got hold of my Hotmail e-mail and folders and sent email asking for money to my friends, my alternative address was very old and they add another one as "je...@Yahoo. com" . Was that nice? Do you call that protection?

Why are all of my emails have a x beside the envelope? Please let me know if some one has opened my account, as I have not been on in over a week.
