    Stop trying to login my Microsoft account. You will go to prison for unauthorized access. I don't have money for cloud, so that's why I can't check @outlook. I told y'all I needed a salary.

    Trying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way. You and your DEI hires just add spam calendar invites without even asking me... Then I can't use the app bc you want me to login with Outlook which is RETARDED because...

    Hey @Microsoft @Outlook I need help, someone logged in my old email account, I lost that phone number so there’s no way to recover it, I tried everything, but it’s not working and someone now added my old account to authenticator app, I need help please, I can provide all info.

    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% !

  • ajr_codes
    Alex 🌐 (@ajr_codes) reported

    Microsoft, 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

  • ErdemPulcu
    Erdem Pulcu (@ErdemPulcu) reported

    @Microsoft cannot make @Outlook find emails in one's inbox. So much of time is being wasted everyday because Outlook doesn't work. Could someone explain to me why anyone should trust their AI models? If they are so good why don't you use it to fix the email??

    @Office @Outlook What are you'll doing to fix this? Half of my company emails work but ironically the most important one I can't access for client submissions, and we are gonna launch tomorrow. Unacceptable Microsoft.

    @Outlook @Kareem1702 It happens to me every week and you never respond on tweets or in messages. Why don't you just fix the issues, people have been complaining for months now.
