K2 (@whatbluecheck) reported@Outlook Hotmail access has become impossible. With password "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." and then with phone verification "That verification method isn't working right now." What the hell Microsoft??? Locked out of emails for a couple of weeks now.
-
Tariq Ponir (@hyperactve) reportedMicrosoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.
-
TONY SANDERSON (@EMANONF1) reported@TylerJs981 @Outlook Still down, won’t send me a code to my mobile phone!
-
Dodgy Anon (@DodgyAnon) reported@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.
-
Leaves Ahead (@acetipped) reported@Outlook when are you guys going to fix this email sync outage on iPhone?
-
sally (@trolly_dolly6) reported@Outlook Can’t log onto server I’ve tried all options recommend this is ridiculous now over 24 hours later

-
Ofelia lizcano (@Ofelializc12198) reported@Outlook have had my Hotmail for like 20 years and now I can’t get in. I hate the world we live in where I can’t just talk to someone and solve the problem. Literally everything is useless for support. Companies don’t care to help you anymore.
