    @Microsoft @Outlook is broken. Please fix your automated system, customer service. It won't let me log in in my email. I contacted customer service and it is of no help at all. They keep repeating the same info without providing solution. So disappointed.

    @mxrshqueen @Outlook I’ve been chatting to @AppleSupport about it for the past few days, from what I can guess, they are trying to resolve it, they are trying their best, but it could be more of an issue with outlook.

  • santinialberto Alberto Santini (@santinialberto) reported

    @WebReflection @Outlook Generally speaking, if you are on Windows, not your case, you need to remove the entry from Credential Manager; another attempt it is to change the password using the web access; basically it is a bug server-side due to the service provider: open a ticket.
