    @Outlook if I can sign in my fingerprints why do I have to verify my identity. In what scenario will my fingerprints be compromised and used by a suspicious party.

  • translib4547 TransLiberal4Trump (@translib4547) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook please please please go back to the previous version. This new one is absolutely terrible. Please don’t make me switch all of my businesses over to Google. I can’t take this new outlook update. At all.

  • prince_david Prince David 🔜 AnimeNYC (@prince_david) reported

    @MechaDragon101 @Outlook because yahoo mail was the main account i used when i made my amazon account and I just never switched it to gmail. I think it gave me some issues trying to switch in the past.

    @Outlook I've been trying to access my HOTMAIL emails for several days. "Retry with another device, another network, another method" appears. I already tried everything in my 3 hotmail emails and the "400 ERROR" continues. I need to access my emails I NEED HELP What is all this due to?

  • AlphaBarbieSays Alpha Barbie 🇺🇸 (@AlphaBarbieSays) reported

    @Outlook I hope that whoever developed New Outlook never finds the cool side of the pillow as long as they live. And gets bedbugs. This is by far the WORST version of outlook. I thought the last one sucked bc of subpar search results, but no. This is TERRIBLE to to bottom.

    Hyy @Outlook Why is my ID not logging in? Even after changing the password, it is not working, and when I try again, it now says too many trai. Don't I have anything else to do, except this? Now tell me whether it will work or not?😔😔😔

  • spsingh98 Satinder Singh (@spsingh98) reported

    Getting a “Too Many Requests” error when signing into my @Outlook account via browser after entering my password. Cleared history, tried incognito—no luck. Still signed in on mobile app, but can't access support since it needs login. @Microsoft, help?

  • Mmyh10620 Liam David ☻ (@Mmyh10620) reported

    @s4nn3ck @Outlook Heads up,@miller_techz can resolve this issue.

  • Cryptobraini Naveed Anjum (@Cryptobraini) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook It’s been four weeks, and Microsoft still hasn’t resolved a basic password reset issue. Even their supervisors and managers don’t seem to have any answers. The support team can’t give a clear timeline either—just vague responses with no real progress. @MicrosoftHelps

  • Aditya17142548 Aditya (@Aditya17142548) reported

    @Shuvam @Outlook @satyanadella Fully agree. Nothing is working. Tried different networks/devices/accounts. Same error everywhere. No one is listening.

  • Cryptobraini Naveed Anjum (@Cryptobraini) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Just posting nonsense on X every day instead of solving real issues. My Outlook password reset problem has been ongoing for 3 weeks, yet your support team hasn’t solved it—only misleading customers who have been using @Outlook for over a decade.

    @Outlook Is there some outage taking place? I haven't been able to sign in all day. It just sits on the loading screen and never loads.

  • yoursnitin001 Nitin Singhal (@yoursnitin001) reported

    @LeeHurstComic Don't fall for "so called" hacking attempt. This seems to be a glitch at @Outlook end. But they are just sleeping on it.

  • _rahul_m Rahul M (@_rahul_m) reported

    Dear @Outlook - I am still waiting on my query where you are asking more than required permissions to add a @gmail account to outlook. I already DM you the details and you acknowledged to fix it but still no update. Can I get a ETA for this.
