passwords and such

what is up with this windows mail. i have gone into my accounts and set up
my mail, set all my account names and their passwords and saved them all so i
wouldnt have to remember each ones own seperate password. NOW out of the
blue, I get a windows security messgae from one of my accounts asking for my
username and its password. I dont have access to the password right now.
Why out of the b lue is it asking me for this crap, i saved it all in my ac
counts and IT IS MY MAIL, ITS NOT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS TRYING TO OPEN MY MAIL

Hi John, I woke up this morning with exactly the same problem, all email
passwords GONE and they also fail to be remembered if I redo them. I know
my computer had an update yesterday so I restored my computer back to the
restore point generated yesterday and everything is ok again - hope this
helps you.

I would suspect that some security program recently installed or updated is
responsible.
