"Sign me in automatically" my ass... it randomly decides to ask your password on subsequent tries... close your browser and go back a few times... (even within seconds). Happens in both IE and FF.

Doesn't happen with Yahoo Mail or Gmail. They always remember.

I'd accept that if it was consistent. But it isn't, so that's obviously not the answer.

well that's a security thing with them... ebay has always asked me to sign in (again) if I'm changing anything or adding to my watchlist, etc.

^^^ Anybody get Hotmail to remember them (without asking for their password again) ? This is just frustrating since it's totally random when it does and does not work. It seems Trillian's link to Hotmail (when I click on the you have Hotmail icon) always bypasses the login screen so I tried to emulate the same link it uses but that fails to work.

Anyone in the same boat ? Anyone get it to always remember the damned cookie ? I've even tried using the FireFox password manager but it never asks me to remember for Hotmail.

In Soviet Russia, hotmail logs you in.

Opposite for me. Hotmail always works, Yahoo can't get their heads out of their asses.
