taxijohn,

I'm assuming you are trying to use the "eye" feature next to the password box on Win8.1 to view the password?

I am on windows 8.1 but I do not have an eye

I'm guessing you can press the little icon to the right of the password field to see the password. I'm using Ubuntu so I don't know what the icon looks like. It should be like a black WiFi signal or something. You should be able to click/hold that to see the password.


Were you able to show that password before or is this the first time you've tried? You can try to clear the cookies for outlook.com to see if that helps but as far as I know, Windows 8 should be able to show/hide the password.

Thanks for trying but there is nothing beside password box. I have 2 laptops one is on 7 & other on 8.1 & have not been able to show passwords on either at any time on outlook (hotmail) but show up on everywhere else.
