# Known changes
(from [MSNP2](msnp2.md)):
* [XFR](../commands/xfr.md): Added a new parameter that is always `0`. No use is known or documented.
* Added Passport Site IDs to [URL](../commands/url.md) (parameter 3).
* Removed `PASSWORD` service from [URL](../commands/url.md).
* Added Hotmail's Passport Site ID to new e-mail notifications.
* [SND](../commands/snd.md): Added a target language parameter and 
  a client library parameter, similar to the one in [CVR](../commands/cvr.md).
* Initial profile: Added Passport intergration fields.
* Font information has been added to Switchboard [MSG](../commands/msg.md) commands.
* Non-protocol: Client can now use non-hotmail domains in relevant places.
* Non-protocol: WebTV 2.5+ clients (example@webtv.net) can talk to other users (example@hotmail.com)
* Clear-Text Password (`CTP`) authentication method removed. Use `MD5` instead.
  Applies to both [INF](../commands/inf.md) and USR.
* Entire content of initial email notification changed from
  `text/x-msmsgsemailnotification` to `application/x-msmsgsinitialemailnotification`,
  the format is likely different. Now includes unread email count. [Examination needed]
* Official Client: Automatic login form now supports Passport
  if parameter 3 is set in [URL](../commands/url.md).
  To generate `creds`, MD5 hash the following as one concatenated string: 
	* `auth` (from Initial Profile's `MSPAuth`, also included in the form) +
	* `sl` (amount of seconds since `LoginTime`, also included in the form) +
	* `passwd` (plain-text password).
* Official Client: Legacy automatic login form parameters has changed.
  This only applies for [URL](../commands/url.md) commands without parameter 3.
  To generate `k2`, MD5 hash the following as one concatenated string:
	* `login` (The local-part of your user handle, also included in the form) +
	* `k1` (A short 2 digit number that you generate and is also included in the form) +
	* `passwd` (plain-text password).
* Official Client: Removed [URL](../commands/url.md) service `PASSWORD`.
* Official Client: Disabled inviting people to the service (needs confirmation).
