  Over 10 lockouts and endless appeals later, @Outlook is officially the most "secure" account I own—mostly because even I can't get into it. @Microsoft , please fix this verification loop. It’s exhausting.

  @Outlook @Microsoft Luckily I have a passkey and was able to sign out of all my accounts elsewhere. In fact I removed the password as a sign in option for my account now. Strongly recommend everyone do this!

  Ali. Me (@AlisonWagstaff3) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Outlook I'm absolutely sick and tired of you. My email access has gone from eady and with no problems to waiting for access, also getting locked in having to restart my phone. It's an absolute pain I hate the ads which were bad enough on unfocused, but now on focused too

  @Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.

  Lover you 3000 Midnights (@lizakabe) reported 41 minutes ago

  Hey @Outlook I can’t change my password because I can’t change my phone number. How do I fix this so I don’t lose my email address? I’ve been trying for a solid month with not one thing working and everything I do try you deny saying not enough information to grant me access!

  @Outlook How am I supposed to reset my password or recover my account when the phone number option isn’t working. I keep getting an error that reads “this method is not working right now”. I can’t log in to get any help or support and the Get Help page does not address my issue.
