-
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.
-
Si Carrington ™️ 🏳️🌈🇮🇪 (@simoncarrington) reported@MicrosoftHelps I need an email address for an elderly friend of mine who has issues with his email. He cant access it and he has important documents on from his Wife who passed away years ago. I cant direct mail you on here. Can you help please?? @Outlook @Microsoft
-
Guts (@Guts_1993) reported@Outlook This **** still not working lol
-
Dee (@PlatinumEvents_) reported@Outlook The verification is not working for me when I try to log in via my laptop. Could you assist.
-
Jamie (@TaxPayerxxxxx) reported@Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !
-
ATMOSARRISES (@XsinandtonicX) reportedBlocking my previous tweets @Outlook ? Why are there no alternative means of support for account access error? I signed in from a new device with a new phone number with my exact credentials ?
-
Vikram (@v1krams) reported@Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.
-
Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported@Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." ANNOYING
-
Jane Darling (@janeydarling1) reported@outlook down again? This is ridiculous
-
Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported@Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!
-
Katlego Makgaila (@Katlego_Mack) reportedPlease fix the Outlook search tool @Outlook @Microsoft
-
Naomi (@bluenaomi) reported@Outlook For2 I have been locked out of my emails, despite filling out forms many times over. I filled in all the details you asked for many times. I do NOT have a number you can text me on because I am using a different sim on vacation. So just fix it. This is terrible service
-
Simon Ward (@SimonJWard93) reported@Outlook Fix it. It’s getting stupid now. At least give communication you are aware and looking into the issue?
-
jen (@JackalopePoop) reported@Outlook wtf is going on with email login -- why is the valid password with the special characters that you made me specifically choose not enough for me to login from the same exact laptop I use every day?
-
Erick (@erickacevedor) reportedI love (not really) how I need to login each time on outlook web. I mean, each freaking time man @Outlook -- you're a 3.19 TRILLION USD company, I think wont be difficult to fix something like this.
-
Mark Young (@2_youngy) reported@kaleighlynnnn @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Mine still down

-

Kareem (@Kareem1702) reported@KyleDavey86 @Outlook @KyleDavey86 Were you able to fix this? I had the exact same issue with the robot and now I can’t even get that far anymore
-
Alex 🌐 (@ajr_codes) reportedMicrosoft, why cant I log into my 20+ year old email? Why is it saying "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." I have 2FA and a backup email + phone number. Why wouldnt you simply ask for the 2FA code??? @Microsoft @Outlook
-
Bonynea (@Bonynea) reported@Outlook It’s been days of failed recovery attempts, unanswered requests, and no real support. I completed the forms, followed every step, and still have no access to my recovery emails. At this point it feels like customers are being ignored instead of helped. Please escalate this issue.

Kyle Davey (@KyleDavey86) reported. @Outlook I am being told my account is locked out. I need to verify I’m a human with a press and hold button.

-
