back in the old days it was easy to steal password from hotmail, it use to be in html code when entered a incorrect password, these days it has change, the only way i could think of without having a look is by using a brute forcer and a heap of proxies, just like cracking porn sites ect..
By the way if anyone wishes to learn the art of cracking porn sites just say and ill write a good tutorial for you all, I know what im talking about, it was an old hobby of mine many years ago and i still crack sites on request
