Hotmail: please enable cookies?

I use PIE (WM6) and I want to login at www.hotmail.com to check my email (because with my telecom provider I need to use a proxy server to get on the internet, so I can’t use Windows Live), but every time I get the message: please enable cookies. And then the Windows live website gives an example how to enable cookies for IE 6 and firefox… So probably Microsoft doesn’t even recognizes his own PIE?!?
I get this message after I filled in my username and password and click on the login button.
Btw, I already activated the option “allow cookies” in PIE.
Can you login at www.hotmail.com using PIE (WM6)?
If yes, what settings do I have to apply?Hotmail: please enable cookies?

try this instead:
http://mobile.msn.com

Thanks, but then PIE closes itself?!?
I go to http://mobile.msn.com and click on hotmail.
Then PIE is Locating and opening it. But while opening it (I don't see anything on the screen yet) suddenly PIE closes itself....
How can I solve this?

accounts.db encoding

Sorry if this is the wrong place;
I'm trying to retrieve a Google account password stored on my phone. I don't want to change it, or go through the lengthy password recovery system (it's a very old account, I can't remember the security questions and the recovery email is long gone).
I read an article about how Google passwords were stored in plain text, in the accounts.db database. Some people said this is still the case as of JB (I'm on ICS).
To test this, I opened the database on my computer but the passwords are not in plain text. Instead, each is a 70-character long string, making it look like some sort of hash -- but I thought that storing passwords as hashes would not work because they cannot be decrypted, so perhaps it's an encoding.
Does anyone know what sort of encoding is used for these? And is it possible to decrypt back to plain text?
Thanks,
Mark

Not sure bro..but the accounts.db doesn't contain your password or so I think
I think it only contains a authentication token..no real password is stored..I think..I know this is the case for 2 step authentication users..but not sure about the rest
If it really is encrypted,then it must be encrypted using some kind of password(which you also do not know.. Google wouldn't be stupid to use the same password for encryption all phone's accounts.db)
However,you could login into your account from the stock browser right?
Could it be used to change passwords?

[Q] recover password from email app

Hi Guys,
my University has this dumb policy that you need to change your password every month. So I did that and immediately changed it on the phone too, so that I can receive my mails. The mail login is the same as on the main platform of the university. Now I need to login in the main platform in order to get the payment information for the new semester, but can't remember the freaking password. A simple reset or forgotten option is unfortunately not available. If you've forgotten your password, you need to go to a special facility where a pin code is handed out. With that you can reset your password. Bad luck me, I'm out of town and can't go to that facility. So is there any way to view the password that is stored in the android stock email app. I'm using android 4.4.
I would really appreciate your help.
Kind regards,
Martin

Is there a portable password manager that can also log into my computer?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a password manager out there which can be stored on a flashdrive so that I can plug it in to log into my PC among other applications and websites?
I have never used a password manager before, and since recent scandals involving password theft, I feel like a lot of people are posting about the benefits of a password manager, so I felt I should try a password manager as well. I want to go the whole nine yards though. I want an immersive experience to REALLY get a feel of whether or not I will use a password manager, so I want to change everything, including my google password and Microsoft password, and let my password manager handle keeping them.
However, my Microsoft password is linked to my PC, so my computer password changes when my Microsoft account password changes. If I change it to some randomly generated strong password I would not remember it and would depend entirely on the password manager, which is why I want to know if there is a portable application that can log into my PC for me as well.
Also, my google account is linked to my phone, and it keeps record of my call history, text messages, and contacts. These are things I want to be retained whenever I get a new phone, factory reset my current phone, or clean install a custom ROM, so is there a password manager that handles this as well? The problem with apps is the fact that we need Google Play Store to download and install them officially, and we need a google account to access Google Play Store. I know that I can sideload an apk from my computer to my phone, but let's say I get a new phone at Best Buy and just CAN'T wait to get home and start using it. When I boot up it'll ask for my Google account so it can restore my contacts at the very least, but I'd be dependent on my password manager and will not be able to login without it. Is there something I can do that will allow me to login immediately upon turning on this shiny new device?
I've tried Dashlane, they don't have a remedy for the things above, and it seems like most password managers do not. On top of Dashlane's android overlay doesn't pop up when adding a google account, whether it just be for gmail or other google services. I am pretty sure that my request is a stretch, and if so, I'll probably just continue to manually type in my own passwords, but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone knew of an app that might do what I want or is migrating in that direction.
Thanks,
Weilun

password manager for apps?

Hi,
I have some apps that I have forgot the password to.
The apps still works but if I want to access the content using my PC I can not since I forgot the password.
Is there a way to extract existing passwords.
To stop this from happening in the future is there an password manager that automatically saves the passwords that I create for the different apps.
Or if there are no manager that does this automatically one with as little effort as possible would be good.
Also it would be nice If this manager auto-fills the username and password because I have some apps that automatically logouts.
Is there a manager that is freeware?

I do not know of a way to extract a password from an app that is logged in, that is mostly because the app does not store your password, but a special has that has your login information session.
However, going forward you can use something like LastPass to store your app passwords, it will prompt you to save them when entering, and you can use it on your desktop as well.
