  Hi,

  This has been going on for a while now. Here's another thread you can reference:

  Me too. It's so inconvenient.

  Even though I have selected "Remember me" checkbox on other MS websites, I always see the following hint:

  "Because you're accessing sensitive information, you need to verify your password."

  This may appear at any time, on any MS related websites.

  Sometimes I am pretty sure I don't access any sensitive information, just open MS Homepage, also have this annoying hint.

  | Since about this week I always have to log in with my Microsoft account to see content. There does not seem to be a "remember me" function. I have this problem on several machines.

  This is a known issue. Best to keep pinging the team so that they understand how high pri it is. Send emails to "fissues" at Micorosoft.

  Thanks!
