    @andrew_tarrant @Microsoft @Outlook NOPE! tried resetting, using different devices, different web browsers, using the authenticator app. Everyday it's done this. This morning at 530 am HST it worked & I logged in on my tablet outlook app. But then the web login didn't work & now it's back to not working at all

  • llianen 『Llianen』🇵🇹 (@llianen) reported

    Reset outlook password. Login with new password: "You have failed your password too many times" @Outlook fix your ****

  • velcoochie Vel (@velcoochie) reported

    @GemmalipsGemma @SyddellAnna @Outlook Yeah, I pray for you. It’s horrible not being able to access it. I don’t get how or why their system is terrible. They’ve been around for a very long time.

  • velcoochie Vel (@velcoochie) reported

    @GemmalipsGemma @SyddellAnna @Outlook It does seem to be a wide issue with the provider because a lot of people are having issues with this so we should be pretty thankful that it’s not just us that’s dealing with it. Hopefully they can fix it because I have changed my password, maybe three or four times and I’m still receiving the same issue where it’s telling me the password is incorrect and that my account is locked. I don’t know what to do. I’m so stuck and very stressed about it.

  • L_Rose183 Larysa (@L_Rose183) reported

    @Outlook Pls fix your log in issues, thx I still can’t log into my email. It says too many attempts even though I’ve only tried once. Option to send code to alt email, go to sign into that one, I’ve tried to log in too many times 🙃

  • edvinryding_01 EdvinRyding (@edvinryding_01) reported

    @PCRichardAndSom @Outlook I’m really sorry to hear about the issues with your outlook the support sometimes are really a waste of time But has anything positive been done yet?

  • andrew_tarrant Andy Tarrant (@andrew_tarrant) reported

    @LuchadorCoreano @Microsoft @Outlook Having same issue. Did you get it sorted?

  • derjanni Jan 🌍🍣🍵😎🖖🦌🌲🍃🍍🏝️ (@derjanni) reported

    @vxunderground The most shameful thing I could do to @Windows is to post a screenshot of my inbox with the new @Outlook app. Makes my eyes fall out including the broken Organization logo that just shows Chromes broken image icon with alt text.

  • edvinryding_01 EdvinRyding (@edvinryding_01) reported

    @tennismobes @Outlook I'm sorry about the issues with your outlook Have you heard back from the support team yet? Are you still unable to sign in?

    @HannahtheNinja @TufCunning @Outlook That's my issue too!! Soo frustrating

  • HannahtheNinja Hannah is in your head 💭 (@HannahtheNinja) reported

    @TufCunning @Outlook Frustratingly, nothing useful. I was chatting with a rep but she hasn’t replied for two hours now. My issue is that every time I reset my password (successfully), it won’t accept that password as correct and the cycle starts all over again.

  • tinaissa Tina Issa 🇺🇸 (@tinaissa) reported

    .@MicrosoftHelps —Hey guys. I’ve been messaging you. You have a major issue that’s been going on for days. Your system is not recognizing the correct password & says you’ve entered the wrong one too many times. Which is false Reset is necessary to login Solve it please @Outlook

  • TufCunning Cunning Stunt (@TufCunning) reported

    @HannahtheNinja @Outlook I've been locked out of my account for a few days now. It started when Microsoft had a world wide glitch a couple of weeks ago. Not been able to sign in on and off since then but this is the longest period with no access. They need to make an announcement.

  • TufCunning Cunning Stunt (@TufCunning) reported

    @HannahtheNinja @Outlook What did they say? I'm having the same issue.

  • MichelleySFPR MICHELLE 💫 (@MichelleySFPR) reported

    @Outlook I keep getting an error message saying 'You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password'. I've changed the password via my security information but I still get the same error message every time. It's exasperating!!! 😡
