  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

  @Outlook like many people I've been logged out in my phone and can't log back in despite using the correct password. This problem has been an issue for a month now, what are you actually doing to fix it?

  Blocking 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 ?

  When you can implement input focus in 2 steps out of 3 in the login form, what's the reason to not implement in the OTP section too @Outlook?

  @Outlook Outlook won't accept the images, even though they are very small. I'm wasting a lot of time. It's an incredibly primitive issue.

  Hey @Microsoft I’m a big fan of voice recognition tech but why can you #VoiceAccess app not be moved on screen? It now blocks multiple key apps including @Outlook & @MicrosoftEdge this makes those much harder to use. Didn’t do this before. Can I suggest an urgent fix is needed

  @eternalsparrow1 @USCPSC They are still selling fraudulent capacity 18650 batteries but CPSC is not taking them down on that. Also the remedy involves contacting an @outlook.com email so CPSC is posing a potential cybersecurity risk.

  It seems that @Outlook is working again, but that email I sent right when it went down is nowhere to be found.

  @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!

  Has anyone else downgraded from the new @Outlook to the old one? The new Outlook keeps asking me to sign in for every mailbox.

  Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

  @Outlook @Microsoft My outlook Email has been messed up by Microsoft. It developed persistent login problems, kept bombarding me with product adverts and freezing instead of logging me in. It forced me to change my password, now it wont accept either the old or new password.

  Ad Libitum (@JSokaza) reported 58 minutes ago

  @Outlook So while my email password issue continues with the account you all took over, I decided to log into my substack which uses an email I made specifically for social media use. Guess what? That password didn't work either. Strange?
