How do I change my MSN Hotmail secret question?
If that's the case, that somebody who has your secret information can log in to your email account even without your password.A secret question and secret answer combo is commonly used by email services or other online services, such as banking and credit cards, email accounts, and shopping accounts with different stores.This secret question and secret answer combo is designed to make sure that nobody can access your account.The problem, of course, is if somebody finds out what your secret question and your secret answer are.Then you've got to change your secret question for your own security.
Of course, you might have simply forgotten what the secret answer to your secret question in.In this case, you will naturally want to reset the secret question and secret answer. Alright, so you've logged in to MSN Hotmail.Now look in the upper right hand corner of the screen.There should be a link that says Options.Click on the Options link.Then you'll be taken to another page, the Options page.When you get to the Options page, find a link that says Secret Question.Click on the Secret Question link.When you click on the Secret Question link, you'll be taken to a different page.This page will say Change Your Question and Secret Answer.This page is where you will change your secret question and secret answer.Once you get to the Change your question and secret answer page, you're going to have to enter your password again.After you enter your password this second time (once again, supposedly to make sure that you are actually the one changing your secret password, not some evil and unfriendly Internet bad guy), you will choose one of Hotmail's secret questions.These are things like Where is the second place that you lived growing up?Who was your first kiss?What state did your spouse propose in?What is your dog's favorite color?(You won't actually get that last question-dogs are colorblind.)So you choose one of the secret questions that Hotmail offers, and then you enter in your secret answer to the secret question.After you type in your secret answer, press continue. Once you press continue, you're done.That's it.Congratulations, you've changed your secret question and secret answer.Now, remember what I said above:you cannot, under any circumstances, forget both your secret question and secret answer and your password.If this happens, there is absolutely no way that you will ever, ever, ever be able to access your MSN Hotmail account ever again.You will lose all of the email addresses in your MSN Hotmail account.You will lose all of the messages that are in your MSN Hotmail account.You will lose all of the pictures in your MSN Hotmail account.So don't try to be tricky and choose your secret answer to be a lie, unless it's a lie that you tell all the time so that you won't forget it.Just pick a secret question that nobody else will know.Then don't tell anybody else your secret question, because if they try hard enough, they'll figure out how your first pet died.
