Hotmail on ipad- how?

[Sea Chief]

You could try typing your password somewhere where you can see it then copy and paste it to Hotmail.
I just tried that and it worked fine.

But Dave H I can't see what my password is (because its hidden). Even so, I'm sure I'm putting in the correct one on the ipad.. but it says its incorrect.

So I need to see it to double-check it (on either the PC or the ipad), so if I am putting it in incorrectly, what the correct one is.

I'm totally stumped here. I need to use the ipad's camera > to get photos on emails urgently.

Ive retried creating a new hotmail account.. & do a stupidly complex x5T76ghblahDE99blaH@etc.. & every time it says the domain/ name is used. So this isn't possible (to get a code sent to > in order to change my password on the PC, write it down/ see it > to use this on the ipad).

All I need to do, is see my own password. IE instead of a series of black dots, is all I need to sign in on the ipad. But afaict I'm prevented from seeing it.

Hi. Ive got an infuriating problem I can't sort out. I have this PC I'm writing on, hotmail open in a tab. I have a new ipad, I want to use my hotmail on it. I go to sign in, but password incorrect (weird: I know it IS correct but let's say I've forgotten it). It asks to send a code via text.. but I have no mobile/ cellphone. I ask a friend to help, sending code to them, but we can't sync up them rcving the code > emailing me, as its always 'expired' by time I put it in, then ask them again.. again.. until both exhausted & it seems just not possible like this.

All I need to do, is see my own password. IE instead of a series of black dots, is all I need to sign in on the ipad. But afaict I'm prevented from seeing it. I try to create new hotmail account, but every conceivable name (even jumbled nonsense) is "that's already taken" until Ive tried 20x & I'm exhausted so cannot create a new one. I try to reset my password, but I'm back sending friend code / expired/ ask/ send/ expired.

Can anyone help? thanks SC
