    @Outlook Hello, plz help with my email login. I still can’t log into my email. It says “too many attempts” even though I only tried once. When I choose the option to send a code to my alternate email and try signing into that one, it also says I’ve attempted too many times!!

  • CA75253969 CA75 (@CA75253969) reported

    @ThanosBompotas @InnerPhoenix420 @Outlook I waited about 5-6 hours and tried logging in again that same day, and it worked, like nothing ever happened. I didn´t have to recover my account, like I almost did. Maybe it takes longer for the issue to resolve itself if you keep trying to login often, maybe wait 24 hours.
