How do I delete accounts from the .NET passport login dropdown?
The .NET login is used for MSN Messenger. If several people
use a machine and sign into MSN Messenger then their email addresses
may be added to the dropdown list presented when you come back and login later.
How to delete email addresses from that list for privacy reasons is not obvious.
Fortunately it’s fairly easy.
Become a Patron of Ask Leo! and go ad-free!
In Control Panel, select User Accounts, click on Change an Account,
click on your login account, and then on the left click on Manage my network passwords.
You should now be presented with a list of accounts, some of which are the accounts
listed in the .NET login. And a Remove button.
Update!
I’ve teamed up with Lockergnome and TechSmith to product weekly video tips. Now available is
tip #12: Managing .NET Passports in Windows XP which
will walk you through the process of removing items from the .NET Passport
password dropdown, and more.
help me delete this account
i have lots of hot mail acout i want to delete how do u do this
Just stop using them or logging in. They’ll go away by themselves.
hi, im lozza
I’ve just made a msn account, but i don’t want it and i can’t get rid of it. I took your advice at the top but the address didnt come up. HELP!!
my account wont go away
this is bogus
Ican not sign in to msn mssenger
What happens when you try? Do you have an account to sign in with? I’ll need a lot more information in order to help.
Hello, the solusion that you give, does’t work for me. When i am in ‘Manage my network passwords’ i see the acounts. But it seems that the remove button does’t work!
Are you logged in with an account that has administrative privileges?
Yes.
My remove button doesn’t work either. I am hoping someone can give me the registry key or dword to set deleting the login history
Alex (and others), her’s a tool that changes your registry. After you have used it, no .net will be saved anymore and it also removes the.net adresses that are in your list atm. Worked fine for me!

Ok, this removes the .net passports, but how do I make may computer remember my passport? Suddenly one day I couldn’t automatically connect to the msn messenger because the dropdown list in login dialog is empty. I checked the registry setting (disabledomaincreds) you suggested to set to true and that is set to false on my computer. Still no passport is remembered.

I just want to change my passport from kids to adult CAUSE IM NOT A KID AN IT AUTOMATICLY SET ME ON KID WEN I SIGHNED FOR A .NET Passport HHHEEELLLPPP
My guess is that can’t be done (to prevent real kids from doing that). You may have to call MSN support. Otherwise I’d just create a new passport.
I wondering If you know how to delete everyone of just anyone off your block list under the privacy tab in tools. I know i have these people blocked but i dont want their names there, like i never added them…they might have me added still therefore i can’t delete them…is there anything i can do?
HAHA! Yes! OMG thank you so much! I have been trying to delete these for ages! This helped and it worked perfectly…now, I just need to figure out how to do it for AIM.
I don’t have a user accounts in my control panel
so how do I get rid of msn?
You probably need to be logged on with administrtive access.
OMG!!! Thanks sooo much. I wanted to delete these forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
i havent got a login account so manage my network doesnt come up , i have windows xp. please please please help me as i have been trying to delete my msn account for ages.
I have thesame problem too..
I can’t delete them this way…
It says i need to be connected to the passport-site. But if i select yes.. do this… than still i can\t delete them..
Anyone.. please help me out here.
I’m running xp, novell network.
And i have admin rights.. so. that can\t be the problem.

OK…somebody hacked into my MSN passport…and they changed all my info and answers to security questions and my password…any idea on how I can get this fixed and be able to sign back in with the same passport…or how I can delete my passport so whoever hacked into it can’t use it?
This article has some ideas: http://ask-leo.com/archives/000265.html but the short answer is there’s normally little that can be done if the steps there don’t help.
i whant to deleted
To remove sign-in names from the MSN dropdown list do as follows:
Go to extra in explorer, chose the option to show hidden files.
Then go to c: – documents and settings – your name – application data – microsoft – credentials. Remove the mapinside credentials.
Restart Windows, go to MSN and you’ll find your sigin-in names gone.
Cheers.

how do i delete accounts from the .net passport login dropdown
I need to delete my old account jennifer1025@hotmail.com and everything that has to do with it, even in the login dropdown. I use someone elses computer and really need to remove everything. Please, please help me.
After I installed the file “disablenetcreds.reg” in my registry to delete all the accounts from .NET passport login dropdown, how can I remove it from the registry again? where is it located in the registry?
To be clear, that’s not a file I provided or support, however… “.reg” files are text files, so you can open it in notepad to see what registry key(s) were affected.
you cannot uninstall that file.. all that does is change a little bit of writing in the regestry
i think this is it:
——————————–
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
“disabledomaincreds”=dword:00000001
——————————–
it either adds that dword.. or it changes an original. it shouldnt be anything to worry about
i think the original is this:
——————————–
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
“disabledomaincreds”=dword:00000000
——————————–
so it changes that value to 1 .. disabling ‘domain credits’
Leo – thank you very much for your straight forward information, it has been a great help. After a year of not knowing how to get rid of the dam drop down email addie’s on MSN passport – you have provided us finally with a answer
Thank you sooooo much! I kept thinking i’d have to remove Windows each time I wanted to get rid of those unwanted email addresses in my drop down!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Thank you sooooo much for helping me. Thank you, now I can easily remove my friends’ addresses… Annoyed me for a very long time already. THANKS YOU~!
you wrote:”In Control Panel, select User Accounts, click on Change an Account, click on your login account, and then on the left click on Manage my network passwords. You should now be presented with a list of accounts, some of which are the accounts listed in the .NET login. And a Remove button.”
But when I press the Remove button nothing happens.
Are you logged in using an account with administrative privileges when you try this?
Pleas cancel me out of net passport.Thank you
last week i did the disabling registry so no passwords are saved, does anyone know how 2 re-enable them? email me please
Thanks Ben, changing something in the regestry helps, now my msn dropdown list is completely empty! Just by clicking on remove in user accounts nothing happens, but now, it’s totally clear thanks a lot!
Greets me
Dear Sir,
I have tried the “control userpasswords2” solution, but this not work on my machine. I see the list but I can not remove any fo the accounts. After clicking remove simply nothing happens. I am logged in as a user with administrator rights.
What do I do wrong ?

4. Select Manage Passwords Button
5. Add or Remove items at will

an item from the list of remembered names: Start/Run/control userpasswords2. Advanced/Manager Passwords.

How do i delete email addresses from the messenger drop down sign in window running on a mac?
Hi I have read your advice on deleting login details from drop down menu on msn messenger but i have a mac and therefore the run through must be slightly different i relaly want to delete additional drop down addresses as my computer is used publically your help much appreciate dthank you
YOU are not answering the question at all. People want to know how to get rid of the email addresses from the dropdown accounts on a MAC!! i can’t find an answer to that.
I have the same question. I am currently running OS X and would like to know how to erase the additional drop-down addresses that keep appearing when I log onto Messenger:Mac PLEASE could you offer any direction on this matter? Thank you.
I found this thread while looking for a way to delete email addresses in the list for Messenger on OSX. I didn’t scroll to the end to find out if the answer was here so I figured it out for myself. 1. open a finder window 2. browse to Library/Preferences/Microsoft 3. Delete any file with Microsoft.messenger as part of the name (could be more than two). 4 start messenger and complete the setup again. ..hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this!

Thankyou

Hello, today a friend came over and used my computer hotmail and now, in the user select screen, it shows his email. i log out of his acccount , forget his email and pass, and log into mine, remembering email and pass, after than i log out and still it shows his email. i use enhanced security and go to the manage my network passwords, his email is not there, and on my net password it shows my email but on the user select screen it shows his.
I’m using a mac and cannot find the file Library/Preferences/Microsoft 3 as mentioned. I also uninstalled and then redownloaded msn messenger and the email addresses are still there. please help! thank you.
I found this when downloading msn messenger for mac. If you want the other addresses deleted from the drop down list, delete all the msn messenger files, applications, whatever from your computer. Make sure you include the ones below…then just re-download msn messenger and go through the start-up again.
To remove all Messenger for Mac files from your computer, delete the following folders in the /Documents/Microsoft User Data folder:
Microsoft Messenger Data
Messenger Corporate Data
Microsoft Messenger History
Also, the folder you were supposed to find was just “Library/Preferences/Microsoft ” The ‘3.’ was meant to signify step 3
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FOR MAC
1. Delete the Messenger for Mac application file from your computer.
2. Delete any Messenger for Mac Preferences files from the Microsoft folder in the Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder as well as the following Messenger Preferences files:
* com.microsoft.AlertsDaemon.plist
* com.microsoft.Messenger.plist
* Microsoft Messenger User Cache
3. Delete the following Messenger folders in the Users/YourUserName/Documents/Microsoft User Data folder:
* Microsoft Messenger History
* Microsoft Messenger Data
* Messenger Corporate Data
THEN REDOWNLOAD AND INSTALL HEY PRESTO….
WOW .. CAN’T BELIEVE HOW EASY IT WAS .. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR SO LONG TO REMOVE THIS PERSONS ACCOUNT FROM MY LOG IN BOX. HAVE CHECKED EVERYWHERE TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO IT .. THEN I COME INTO HERE AND GET WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ASAP ..
THANK YOU .. THANK YOU …

I did all of the following:
“1. Delete the Messenger for Mac application file from your computer.
2. Delete any Messenger for Mac Preferences files from the Microsoft folder in the Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder as well as the following Messenger Preferences files:
* com.microsoft.AlertsDaemon.plist
* com.microsoft.Messenger.plist
* Microsoft Messenger User Cache
3. Delete the following Messenger folders in the Users/YourUserName/Documents/Microsoft User Data folder:
* Microsoft Messenger History
* Microsoft Messenger Data
* Messenger Corporate Data”
and when i downloaded the messenger again, the accounts were still there.

hi
i have deleted me hotmail account but i can still use my msn messenger with that user name which i dont want. i dont want my msn to recognise this user name.
can u plw help me.
thanks
I did as Leo described, removed all the accounts listed, and I still have accounts in msn live messenger dropdown list. What the?
I am on Vista and it will not let me delete from the dialog box. It let’s me click to a MS Live web site to change it but the unwanted dropdown email address (Live ID) does not appear there. I even used their help to search for what they call account links. Any ideas?
This solution hasnt worked for me…when I go through the process it shows me the list of things to change except ”manage network passwords”, it just doesnt show that at all ?? Frustrated – as this is a useless feature to me and my family, any other ideas…PLEASE ?
well i believe i have found a solution for xp users atleast…
1- start
2- run
3- type regedit
4- Ctrl + F
5- (desired username to delete)
6- delete that username* >should be gone now.
in regedit the file is in
HKEY_USERS/S-1-5-21-343818398-1606980848-725345543-1003/microsoft/identityCRL
hope that helps.
nvm im dumb.. im just removing windows msnger & all files in safe mode… garbage prog anyways.. better solutions out there by far
Cannot SEND ANY emails from any files to anyone, without “login.passport.com” box popping up. I want to get rid of the whole darn Passport or Windows Live One Care or whatever they want to call it. Can’t figure out how! HELP? Cant send out.
deactivate it
Thanks LEO you’re great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!!
Just do a find under Microsoft, click through the results till you find the microsoft preferences, view by date modified, delete the ones that date from the last time you opened msn (it may pay to open msn and quit just before doing this so the preference set is most recent). Empty trash and the next time you open msn it will prompt you for reloading your account details, all the other email login addresses will be gone.
Hi

“In Control Panel, select User Accounts, click on Change an Account, click on your login account, and then on the left click on Manage my network passwords. You should now be presented with a list of accounts, some of which are the accounts listed in the .NET login. And a Remove button” …I suppose this only deletes the latest login ID and the ID logged in after that will still appear automatically again in the drop down. Can we set it so as not to remember any login ID at all??
followed these instructions they work:
