Welcome!

Welcome to the discussion forum for Windows Live ID!

This forum has been created to provide a place where developers can discuss not only Windows Live ID concepts and plans for the SDKs, but also general discussions around identity and authentication as they apply to Microsoft online services.

For an introduction to Windows Live ID, I encourage you to check out these resources:

1. Whitepaperon MSDN which describes our platform and how we integrate in the Identity Metasystem.
2. Team blog athttp://spaces.msn.com/winliveid which has information on ournew sign-in UI and multi-user support, as well as theWindows Live Sign-in Assistant.

Currently, we do not have any public SDKs for development against Windows Live ID, but we have big plans for opening the platform soon.

The first SDK we'll be opening up later this year is a Windows Live ID client SDK which will enable you to create rich clients that can authenticate users so they can access other authenticated APIs exposed by the other Windows Live teams.

This discussion forum isnot for customer support. To resolve end-user issues, please use one of the following 2 options:

1. Account Services(self-care for password reset, reporting security concern, closing account)
2. Contact customer support through our web-form

Welcome!
