    @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

    @Outlook Clearly the fix isn’t fixed. Test first, not last.

    @Outlook still can’t get logged into my Hotmail account. Are there still issues currently? It won’t even let me change my password as an attempt to get it.

    @TechWTaylor @Outlook Mine started working again this morning. I’m able to send and receive emails again. Maybe the fix is a slow roll out.

    @Gem83Col @Outlook @Microsoft Mine is also down but if you log into Hotmail via your web browser it should work. That’s the only way I can check my emails

    @Outlook why haven’t you sorted the mail app out. Still my Mail isnt loading at all. SORT THE OUTAGE OUT. I HAVE IMPORTANT EMAILS ON THERE AND ALL HAVE GONE

    @faisal9051911 @Outlook Did they recover your acct/email you or were you able to reset your pw w no issues?

  • OktayAykut1

    @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Outlook Update: I finally managed to recover my account. I had to install the Outlook app on iOS and go through the “forgot password” process there. Somehow the verification (robot test) worked there, and I was finally able to reset my password. This just shows how broken the system is — the same process didn’t work anywhere else. Also, Microsoft’s support is even worse than the system itself. No real help, no human support, just useless automated responses. This experience was extremely frustrating.

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft - Will I ever be able to access my Hotmail email via the Mail app on my iPhone again? Been down for days now. Keeps saying I’ve tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account which is total lies. My password is 100% correct

  • GunnerJustine
    Justine Gunner (@GunnerJustine) reported

    @Outlook the iPhone app keeps logging me out and won’t let me sign in. I’m not getting sent any codes through to my mobile, to prove who I am. But I can log in using a web browser?

    Pinkie (@PnkNailsrPrtty) reported

    Coming up on at least 16 hours of no access to multiple emails… support hasn’t even said boo in 30minutes and they’re acting like they fixed it if we’d only follow their broken steps… @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps @MSFT365Status

    @MSFT365Status @Outlook @MSFT365Status still not working 24 hours+ later?? It’s not fixed. I just want to be able to log into my account normally, without having to authenticate how many times I breathe per day!

    Chris Walker (@Cwalker6033) reported

    @Outlook please fix the issue, cannot log into my account, cannot reset my password, cannot speak to anyone at Microsoft. Poor support for a paid service!

    @Outlook I’m still locked out my Hotmail in the infinite sign in loop. When is this expected to be fixed for all users? Can’t sign in on iPhone or web browser and I really need this account as it’s my main. Concert tickets, reservations and travel plans all not accessible.
