How can I import username and password for Windows Live Messenger on Windows8?

Question

I am able to import a user and password into Windows Live Messenger in Windows7 with create credential.

But in Windows8, after I create credential, I found that when I open Windows Live Messenger, I can only see username, can not see password auto filled.

Any one help? Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Windows Live Messenger is just a product name, implementation can be vastly different between versions, and those implementation details are not part of the C++ language standard.

Try visit the Windows Live forums on windowslivehelp.com if you want to know how Windows Live Messenger stores password in each version.
