Windows Live added support for XMPP protocol authentication, now you can use wodXMPP to connect to your Windows Live account.

In order to connect to Windows Live account you need to first retrieve your access token. Here is one way how to obtain token.

Please go to:

https://manage.dev.live.com/

you need to authenticate there using your Windows Live account. After you are connected to your Windows Live account, please go to "My Apps" then to "Create Application" and create there new application account.

Then open Application Settings Page and you will receive there your Client ID. Under API Settings please add Redirect domain. You can use any http:// or https:// domain.

Next, you need to open this URL:

https://oauth.live.com/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=wl.messenger&response_type=token&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI

please add inside this URL CLIENT_ID (your Client ID) and REDIRECT_URI (your Redirect domain).
