    @Outlook i absolutely love it when your application asks for my password and two factor authentication everytime i log in just to put me into a loop where it immediately signs me out afterwards and i have to sign in all over again and repeat the process. no notes. amazing app.

    @Outlook Please fix your email service. Outlook returns DNS failures to services despite authentication being set up correctly. Email forwarding no longer works, and I’m now not receiving servicing emails from companies like Lyft.

    Anyone else getting screwed by @Outlook and that idiotic #Authticator? And @Microsoft support is worthless. Hours on the phone and no one knows what to fix issue with it How about giving a shot at support options in the US? Just a thought...

    There's numerous complaints about this on Reddit too. Fix this, cause right now the only 'fix' is avoiding Gmail entirely and moving to @Outlook which I use on pc, but I prefer Gmail on mobile. FIX THIS

    @Outlook why the hell doesn’t your 2FA sms system work? You’re locking users out of email IDs for a software issue on your end! And why is email recovery so complicated with you guys?! Please help

    Why does @Microsoft365 for #macOS suck so much? You cannot change the display name of a user for iMAP e-mail in @Outlook... This is a paid product...$180 a year and it's coded by cretins. @Microsoft365 can you fix this ASAP! #TechFail

    @Outlook MS email accounts can't send. Via client it just fails as if your pw is wrong. With webmail it fails silently, a copy is placed in the sent folder, but the mail is never sent. I've tested with multiple browsers, clients, and OSs. Support login is also broken.

    @Outlook What is the problem with Outlook? I can get it on my (android) phone app but on my PC, both Chrome & Edge are repeating the envelope over & over & over, etc. and not letting me into my mail??

  • SumitBando
    Sumit (@SumitBando) reported

    Many asked how I resolved getting locked out of @Outlook. Many attempts trying to stay below more lockout algorithms, only flow which worked required me to enable passkey. Windows 11 thought my wifi was down. #fail federated auth. Technical support pointed to generic pages.

    @Outlook What's the point in having the "I can't use my Authenticator app right now" option if choosing it directs you to the code in your Authenticator app???? I can't even login to my email right now. ENOUGH!!!!!!!

    @Outlook whenever I try to log in to my hotmail account I'm asked to verify through 'another email' or use my password. I obviously choose password and I can't log in. Based in the U.K, however I don't have this issue when I use a VPN. Why?
