    I am not sure about the legitimately of this email from "Microsoft." I did have to access MSN via Google on a local Library computer last week. So maybe it is from that.

    I believe all of these replies are to my original post.

    My advice is DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK (as Lyn2of12 said, they want you to enter your ID & PW). Instead, log into your Outlook account directly (I.e., not the link) and change your PW.
