    Two users at Log in but in reality only one


    Like so many times before I was asked to (for lack of better word that I can't remember now probably due to my age) re-certify my MS account @hotmail.com. I went thru the motions like many times before, Changed password etc and all went well set to no password on log in but now I have 2 Mike entries at log in and get warning that password is incorrect on first one. Choose second Mike, enter password and it logs in.
    But look at this, there's only one

    I would like to get rid of first one and log in without a password.

    :)

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
