Autofill disabled on new Microsoft login page. ANNOYING!!!

It appears there is now a new login page for Outlook Live Online which is the main login for all Microsoft accounts. It also appears this new page is blocking the autofill feature on Chrome for the user name. I have been meaning to switch to another email client for some time now and this is definitely the last straw which has put me over the edge.  Anyone know anything about this?

    I have the same problem.

    The Forum Moderators and Community Moderators here cannot fix this bug. Only Microsoft developers can fix this bug.

    Follow these steps to report this problem to Microsoft developers ....

    1. Go to this page:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/id-support
    2. Click on "I am having trouble signing in"
    3. A page will open where you can describe the problem signing in (i.e., auto-complete not working when typing the first few characters of your ID into the new Microsoft Account sign in page).
    4. Click the Submit button.

    You will get email with a case number. Then you may get email with a scripted reply telling you to enable auto-complete in your browser. Verify that auto-complete is working in your browser by signing on to other sites you use (such as netflix, gmail, facebook, etc and typing the first few characters of your ID). Then respond to the email you received and tell them that auto-complete works on other sites ... it just does not work on the new Microsoft Account sign in page. Be persistent and eventually your case will get escalated to a higher level.

    If enough people complain, Microsoft will fix this problem.

    Probably more complex than the average user is willing (or able) to use.

    I made a workaround using Tampermonkey.

    MAP

    It is only the MS ID log on page that does not support autofill.  Microsoft has not replied to whether this is by design or a bug to be fixed. Guess we all will have to wait and see.  The me too is for the log on to this site but who know perhaps MS will require a MS ID to log into this forum <g>

    The irony is when I said "me too," it asked for my email, which autofilled after typing my first few letters!
