People having issue to sign-out their Windows Live ID or Hotmail

If you are seeing the message below when signing out of Windows Live ID or Hotmail pages by Microsoft:

Sign out failed!

We could not sign you out because your browser seems to be blocking third party cookies.

  • Close all browser windows to sign out.
  • To prevent this error in the future, you must enable third party cookies by chaging your browser settings.

You should just close the browser.  If you don't want to see the above message, add passport.com, live.com and hotmail.com in your cookies manager.  If you are using MSN (e.g. personalized or customized MSN page), add msn.com too!
