I dunno, there's something strange going on...your link is not secure at all (no certificate)

Sigh... Actually I'm not so sure how secure the original sign in page was either...

Totally agree. I wish they just did a few things to improve the UI in gmail...

I just logged in to hotmail. There were asterisks in the password field.

I'm 100% certain that previously (to your discovered issue), the login was secure (128BIT). Something's changed.

Yes (well hotmail.com actually). It takes me to mobile.msn.com (which I don't remember before). I click signin, it takes me to a login screen and it hides my password as I type it. Then instead of going directly to hotmail I get the mobile msn again with multiple choices including hotmail.

I just noticed something now. Once I get to the msn mobile screen 2 things can happen. If I click signin then my password has asterisks. Then I click hotmail.

If I click hotmail at the beginning without doing signin there is a different login screen and my password does show.
