I currently have both a Gmail and a Hotmail / Windows Live account. While I know nothing is 100% foolproof, I'm trying to decide which one I want to consolidate to, and its driving me nuts. A year ago, the natural choice was Gmail IMHO. However, Microsoft has made a LOT of improvements to Hotmail. Gmail has two-factor authentication for added security (but a lot of apps require locked-in passwords to be created anyway to bypass two factor). Hotmail has single-use passwords.
From a security standpoint, is there much of a difference between the two? I know Hotmail now claims it is fully https from the browser to the email server - Is Gmail the same?
