Hotmail on PIE shows password during login!
I've noticed that in the past week or so, logging into your Hotmail account via MSN mobile will reveal your password as you type! Is it just me, or is this happening to anyone else?

I didn't have that experience when I checked just now; did you have any of the below boxes checked (save my password, always ask, etc.)?

No, I didn't have anything checked. Even if I did, it still shouldn't show the actual password; you would just see the asterisks.

I've noticed the interface is a bit different from before too. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.

I usually use PPC HTTPMAIL to check my rarely used MSN account; however, I did notice the same thing this morning when I tried using Netfront (The password characters were echoed, not starred) ... strange

Yup. It has been happening to me for the past couple of days. Very strange!!! I am using regular PIE.

Just another point on why NOT to use Hotmail and/or AOL.

i think it has to do with the feature in ppcs where it shows a list of words and/or letters that you have typed recently..

I don't think it has anything to do with autocomplete, etc. It used to be just fine!

Just an update:

When I logged out of Hotmail just now, I was directed to this more secure sign in page:
