Multiple Windows Live ID's

Multiple accounts for login with all Windows Live services. <br /><strong>Updated 02-09-2008 17:30 [v2.7.4 Beta].</strong>

Multiple Windows Live ID's

$1 News:

I released a new version of this script. There hasn't changed a lot in first side, but under the hood the code has tripled. Normally this isn't a good thing, but this is a exception:

This script has now it's own settings window. Here you can set options for for example showing/hiding parts of the page and most important an easy way to add new accounts. Just go to Greasemonkey options a check it out!

And with the latest version it's now possible to select an account that will automatic load into the input fields. See below for more.

This script is still a beta version, and I'm not sure if all works for everybody. So please leave a comment if all works or not!

NOTE: this script does NOT work without my userscript framework, US_framework, which consist of:

US_functions [1]; contains useful functions.
US_language [2]; contains a translation part.
US_options [3]; adds an iframe window (for settings).
US_update [4]; checks for new script versions.

Have fun using it, gr Jerone

Above screenshots are taken from a Dutch login page, but this script should work on any language with the same system.

$5 Options:

A frame will pop-up where you can make a few settings:

Show passwords as normal text.

Show Windows Live info field.
Show the normal login field.
Show the users list.

On the second tab you can add new accounts or edit available ones.

Click on the "+" button to add a new account, click on the "-" to delete a selected account. You can use the arrows to arrange the order of your accounts. Pressing the "#" button selects an account that will automatic be loaded in the input fields. Pressing this button again on an active account will disable thisfeature.

Want to add a name, mail, password or display picture, fill in the correct info and press the "*" button.

For all tab count: don't forget to save your setting by pressing the "OK" or "Apply" button!

Want to restore all settings on all tabs to the default ones: click on the "Reset" button.
Note that clicking this will also restore your accounts!

There're still some settings that require you to edit the scripts source. The following options will override all settings made by other methods:

showPassOverRide
showInfoOverRide
showInlogOverRide
showUsersOverRide
accountNamesOverRide
accountActiveOverRide

These options need to be added just before the default setting part, marked //*** DEFAULT SETTINGS ***//.

$6 Todo:

Internet Explorer (IE7Pro) and Opera (UserJS) compatible.

$7 Notes:

I made this userscript in Dreamweaver 8.
It's tested in Firefox 2.0.0.16 (partly) and Firefox 3.0.1 (continuous) with GreaseMonkey 0.8.
This script is copyrighted and I prefer if you ask if you can 'borrow' parts of this script.
Installing is at own risk and I can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
Want to reward me for putting time and sweat into making this free userscript;

(thank you).

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Get Firefox > 2. Install Grease Monkey extention (restart Firefox) > 3. Download Multiple Windows Live ID's (refresh page) > 4. and start using...

Aug 20, 2008 Adamarla User	I would love to help, but I'm afraid I'm English and can't speak any other languages. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the options on the setting page set the override values. After all, what is the point of setting them at all when their effect is cancelled as soon as the user clicks the show/hide bars? I did write this script which redirects back to the login page: // ==UserScript== // @name MSN To Hotmail Redirect // @namespace What Is This? // @description Redirect MSN To Hotmail so when you log out of Hotmail you are taken back to the login page. // @include http://login.live.com/logout* // ==/UserScript== window.location.href = "http://mail.live.com/"; EDIT: I have just found a firefox addon which does the same thing but can be customised for many pages: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/...

Aug 19, 2008 jerone Script's author	@Adamarla, This script only works on http(s)://login.live.com/* pages. The suggestion from you has to work on a lot other pages. And personal I think it's out of the goal of this script. But as I'm also annoyed by it I mite make another script for this. If your mother-language isn't English/Dutch, are you willing to translate my scripts?

Aug 18, 2008 Adamarla User	Thanks jerone for adding the options, it works just as I had hoped. One last thing... I really think! Are you able to redirect the "Sign out" link back to the log in page. It would make switching between accounts much easier and quicker to bypass the msn.com page which loads. Thanks for a great script.

Aug 16, 2008 jerone Script's author	I love your input Adamarla. Your request can be done in multiple ways. Not wanting that much hassle for something I won't use, I still added some new options that require you to edit the scripts source. You can read more about it in the last part of $5 Options. I hope it's what you asked for. Anyone interested in translating this script? ATM this script is translated in English of course and Dutch.

Aug 16, 2008 Adamarla User	Thanks, it's all working again now. My previous problem with the "Sign In" button is fixed now too. I don't want to overwork you but would it be possible to prevent the three panels from remembering their last visibility? It would be nice to be able to have the user list hidden every time the page is loaded whether it was previously open or not to reduce the chances of others logging into my accounts. i.e. "Always use visibility settings" option. The file wasn't from PortableApps, it was made using VMware's ThinApp but essentially does the same thing. Thanks for pointing me to PortableApps though - I didn't know about that site. Their implementation is unable to be updated and seems complicated to install addons and extensions. The ThinApp way can be used as if it is a normal install - it is updateable.

Aug 16, 2008 jerone Script's author	@Adamarla The bug has been located and should be fixed right now. It was found in the US_functions, in a function that was the root of it all, which causes a chain of errors. A new version of US_functions is now available with the fix included. No need to reinstall MWLID. Offtopic: That file you linked me, that was from PortableApps, right? I should have thought of that. No excuse for me now to not test my scripts in Firefox 3 anymore :p.

Aug 16, 2008 Adamarla User	I installed Firebug but I have never used it before and don't know what data you need from it, or how to go about getting it. If you are unable to install Firefox 3.0.1, you could use the following portable version. It doesn't need installing and makes absolutely no changes to the system - all settings are written to a virtual directory structure and stored in a 'sandbox' folder in the same directory you run it from. It can be run from a USB drive and have greasemonkey, firebug and your scripts installed as usual. Probably easier for you to diagnose that way than me learning firebug. Let me know if you still need me to test it. Foirefox 3.0.1 Portable: http://www.mediafire.com/?eyljnud1dpf

Aug 15, 2008 jerone Script's author	It's probably a FF 3 problem and atm I can't install that one. Could you install Firebug and tell what errors you get.

Aug 15, 2008 Adamarla User	jerone, I have just tested this again on a clean, freshly installed XP-SP3 VMware machine. I got the same errors again in a new install of Firefox 3.0.1. Here is a link to a video of what happened: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G6M4ICYV

Aug 12, 2008 jerone Script's author	@Adamarla, I did a lot of testing on a clean FF profile and I really couldn't reproduce your problem. I tried it the correct way, the wrong way, the random way, all the way. But every time I rearrange it to the correct order, the rest of the scripts are working perfect again. I really would like to solve your problem, so I would like to know the following: - which Firefox and Greasemonkey version you're using? - have you installed Firebug? - what errors do you get in Firebug or FF error console? - when uninstalling the scripts, did you also selected to remove the settings? - did you do a restart after uninstalling and before reinstalling? - and if its not to big of a list, which scripts you're using also?

Aug 12, 2008 Adamarla User	I uninstalled all the scripts and then installed US_functions, then US_language. On going to the US_options page I got the error. After installing US_options, I got the message twice when opening the US_update page. After installing US_update and Multiple Windows Live ID's I went to Google and got the message 3 times in a row. On Hotmail login page I get 4 US_functions followed by 1 US_update message and don't get the modified page. They are all installed and in the listed order. It all worked before the recent update.

Aug 11, 2008 jerone Script's author	@Adamarla, This only happens if you don't have all scripts installed or in the wrong order. Check in the userscripts list if they are in correct order: US_functions US_language US_options US_update and then somewhere below this script. And how many times do you get this message on one page? Please let me know your findings.

Aug 11, 2008 Adamarla User	I now get the following popup message box on every web page even though I have all of your scripts installed: The following script doesn't exist, is disabled or something went wrong: US_functions Click 'OK' to go to the homepage of that script to download the newest version: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/16142

Aug 10, 2008 jerone Script's author	Hi mcjano, please don't write in capital, it looks like you're shouting. Just to be sure you followed the correct order: open settings window, click the + button (a new option is added below), add the information below and press the * button after every input and press Apply in the end.

Aug 10, 2008 mcjano User	HI, WELL I WAS TRYING YOUR SCCRIPT AND I HAVE AN ANSWER, WHEN I ADD A NEW ID FROM THE SETTINGS PAGE, IT DOESNT APPEAR IN THE LIST OF MAILS I HAVE PUT IN THE SCRIPT, SO, WHERE THIS ID IS STORED?, AND, COULD YOU CHANGE, (IF YOU CAN AND WANT OF COURSE), THE BACKGROUND OF THE SETTINGS PAGE BECAUSE IS TRANSPARENT AND I CANT SEE ANY TEXT THERE.

Aug 9, 2008 jerone Script's author	@Adamarla, Clicking on the hover and image will fill your info in the fields. Clicking on the "Sign In" button will log you in immediately. Clicking on your name opens the old login page. @mcjano, After this update losing your accounts and settings when updating shouldn't happen anymore!

Jul 22, 2008 Adamarla User	In addition... If I click the picture and then click the "Sign In " button below "Remember my password" it works.

Jul 22, 2008 Adamarla User	When I click on "Sign in" after one of the e-mail addresses, the following error flashes up in red for half a second: "The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please try again." When I click the e-mail address text it goes to: https://login.live.com/pp500/ If I click the e-mail address text and then quickly click the "Sign In " button below "Remember my password" it works.

Jun 21, 2008 jerone Script's author	mcjano, hmmm I never thought of that, my fault :( The next version will contain a solution or at least a note about this. Thanks for your comments. gr J ps. do all the US_framework scripts also work correctly?

Jun 21, 2008 mcjano User	it's greate to have updates of your script, and the scroll bar is nice idea, but ur update delete all the accounts. so i have to re-write them. i know this is beta, maybe you can fix this little problem in the next update. Thanks for your work and your time.

Jun 20, 2008 jerone Script's author	Thank you Manuel Cruz for using my script and giving me suggestions. In answer on your suggestion I've made the accounts list scrollable. When I found me some time, I'll make a settings field for adding accounts. In the mean time people could just follow the instructions in above $5 Options or the scripts source for adding new accounts. Keep the comments coming, gr J

Jun 19, 2008 mcjano User	Suggestion. This Script works very well, but i want to suggest something. I have many mail accounts, so, for my confort, but they appear in one large column, could they be ordered in different columns,?, and in a second place, how to add and delete an account.or add the adress directly from the page and not from the script text.

Apr 27, 2008 jerone Script's author	Ok, today i released a totally new version of this script. ATM it works in both the old and new inlog system. It remembers the options to hide some parts. You can show your password as text if you like and add a custom display picture (avatar) infront of you name. Just read the options section above if you want to make some settings. Have fun using it and report your errors and suggestions, gr J

Apr 15, 2008 jerone Script's author	dkazaz, I'm having some problems with this script too, but I haven't found the time to fix these. I've got also some new features in the making. I'll submit the script as soon I've found some time. gr J

Apr 12, 2008 dkazaz User	Good script and I been looking for something like this for ages! Its a bit weird though - on my system, if I click the name of the account - the login fails. It just takes me to a 'Windows Live ID Login page'. If I click the "aanmelden" button (Log-in?), it just enters the data in the boxes (without logging me in). Now if I click the "sign in' button underneath it fails and says I entered the wrong password - BUT, if I place the cursor in the password box after the password and press the 'enter' key, it works! So I'm happy cause I can work woth multiple accounts, but I thought you should know in case you can look into this. Thanks again!
