Use Windows Live ID to Sign In to adCenter
Now you can sign in to adCenter by using your Windows Live ID. If you are already signed in to another online program with your Windows Live ID—Hotmail, for example—you can easily sign in to adCenter without reentering your credentials. And if you're an adCenter Admin, you can also invite new adCenter account users to access your account by using their Windows Live ID.
New Home Page and Alerts
In adCenter you'll find a new Home tab that takes you quickly to your home page. Here our new Alerts, What’s new, and FAQ areas help keep you informed about what’s happening with your account and with adCenter in general.
- Alerts: Displays messages specific to your user role and adCenter account.
- What’s new: Keeps you informed about new features and announcements.
- FAQ: Links you to popular Help topics and information.
Account Settings
We've improved the My Settings page, so now you can more easily create and manage your personal information, marketing preferences, and alert settings—all in one place.
And in the Alert settings section, you can select the severity of the alerts you want to receive within four alert types: account, billing, campaigns, and general.
