Rahimuddin (@mdrahiem) reportedWhen you can implement input focus in 2 steps out of 3 in the login form, what's the reason to not implement in the OTP section too @Outlook?
-
William (@dxgl_org) reported@eternalsparrow1 @USCPSC They are still selling fraudulent capacity 18650 batteries but CPSC is not taking them down on that. Also the remedy involves contacting an @outlook.com email so CPSC is posing a potential cybersecurity risk.

secret name (@dbfssecret) reported@Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.
-
Ad Libitum (@JSokaza) reportedThe AI bot will tell you that @Outlook know there is an issue too, so this is not new, and still not fixed. Brilliant.

Carlos Manuel Areias (@CarlosRPMPOWER) reported@tradingview @Outlook getting error 303
-
Rahul Ratan (@Cipher_Manic) reported@Outlook Is there any outage? Suddenly, all incoming & outgoing emails stopped, neither were there any mail demons errors #OutlookOutage #MicrosoftOutlook ?
-
daz. (@F1Daz_) reported@Outlook @Microsoft I reported fraud to you 4 days ago. And have still have ZERO response. my details are STILL compromised due to your lack of urgency with such a sensitive issue. Everything else was sorted in hours by various other companies. Shocking.
-
Moitheri (@Moytheri) reportedI was forced to change my outlook password after which I was prompted to validate my mailbox. It's now forever that I'm told to try again later and my main email has been down for days. What is happening? @Outlook
-
Taz 泰秀樂 (@tazorack) reported@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps when are you going to add basic Classic @Microsoft Outlook desktop program functions to this terrible non-native new Outlook desktop program?
-
None of These Candidates (@noneofthesecand) reportedTrying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way. You and your DEI hires just add spam calendar invites without even asking me... Then I can't use the app bc you want me to login with Outlook which is RETARDED because...

-
José Rafael Gabaldón (@Gabalzac) reported@peteryanni @Outlook Agree. Terrible decision by @Outlook
-
Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported@Outlook looking at your tweet history only solidifies the growing issues with the new outlook. Is there a computer brand that doesn't have the new version of outlook on it, anywhere. - just the classic version? So the general public can avoid the problems
-
Permian Landman (@PermianLandman) reportedCalling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.
-
Mark Bond (@MarkDABond) reportedI can't believe this. Yesterday I could get in to my @Outlook Hotmail easily with 2 Step Verification. But now someone else has managed to accidentally use my mobile number (ends in 52) to override my use and use it to verify their account ending in 56. @Microsoft how do we fix this?
-
swede05 (@AaronWick2) reported@Outlook having trouble with verification for my hotmail account can u help me with this please
-
JJ (@JJimisen) reportedMicrosoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook
-
Jamie (@TaxPayerxxxxx) reported@Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !
-
Neeraj (@Neeraj8k) reported@Outlook what’s the problem? You keep sending all my important emails to junk… please fix this… 😡
-
Charlie (@Charles2982708) reported@Outlook this update that sends everything to my Draft folders automatically is complete BS Please change this! It doesn’t save any time and causes way too many problems. The majority of people using outlook for work Multi task and end up having all these emails disappear. When it’s out of site it’s out of mind. That’s not a good thing.
-
Diagnosis (@Diagnosis410227) reported@Outlook I really have issues with my account, please help @Outlook
-
Internet Politician (@NetRant1) reportedI can't believe this... @Outlook totally forgot to add an option to sign into a different email How are we supposed to change the sign in email @MicrosoftHelps
-
Oktay (@OktayAykut1) reported@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.

❄️ Mahkarona (@Maha_Kh_Alt) reported@Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Your private reply did not answer my question or help resolve my issue. I need a clear and direct answer to the question I sent you via DM. Please provide a direct answer instead of referring me to general support articles or troubleshooting steps.

paula atkinson (@xmckeallax) reported@Outlook like many people I've been logged out in my phone and can't log back in despite using the correct password. This problem has been an issue for a month now, what are you actually doing to fix it?
