    @Outlook if I can sign in my fingerprints why do I have to verify my identity. In what scenario will my fingerprints be compromised and used by a suspicious party.

  • NikkiBarnesFL 𝓝𝓲𝓴𝓴𝓲 𝓑𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓮𝓼 (@NikkiBarnesFL) reported

    @Outlook I have an issue with my email and you online team cannot assist. They are completely incompetent and I need someone else to help me with this issue who knows how to resolve issues with Outlook for business customers.

  • cryptofreelife_ CryptoMeta (@cryptofreelife_) reported

    @AntesdelAtardcr @Outlook Yes @Outlook are absolutely useless, I would use others. It’s nearly impossible to login sometimes even when you have the correct details. God knows what there developers do!

  • ProResum Peter G. Eferidono (@ProResum) reported

    @Outlook Am currently frustrated on my mail getting disabled without any issues done, I had my bank connected to this mail and I couldn't have access to my bank because of email not working anymore. I need help please. My savings are at risk

  • cryptofreelife_ CryptoMeta (@cryptofreelife_) reported

    @Outlook Your most recent iOS update has fully broken the app - no longer opens, even if deleted and re-downloaded. Congrats to all developers involved in being totally unable to test before release, fire them.

  • CHI_guy08 CommonSense (@CHI_guy08) reported

    @Outlook Is there some outage taking place? I haven't been able to sign in all day. It just sits on the loading screen and never loads.

  • spsingh98 Satinder Singh (@spsingh98) reported

    Getting a “Too Many Requests” error when signing into my @Outlook account via browser after entering my password. Cleared history, tried incognito—no luck. Still signed in on mobile app, but can't access support since it needs login. @Microsoft, help?

  • Cryptobraini Naveed Anjum (@Cryptobraini) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Just posting nonsense on X every day instead of solving real issues. My Outlook password reset problem has been ongoing for 3 weeks, yet your support team hasn’t solved it—only misleading customers who have been using @Outlook for over a decade.

  • CriticalBoomBot CriticalBoomBot (@CriticalBoomBot) reported

    Guys I figured out a temporary fix for the @outlook insta crash bug. Long hold the app, select calendar and then navigate to email.

  • robertjohnhill bͥeͣrͫb (@robertjohnhill) reported

    @outlook I have to enter a code to login, I enter the code, it says the code is wrong. The code isn't wrong. What's happening?

  • bobbyrenu Tejinder Singh Renu (@bobbyrenu) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Kindly help me, I am unable to sign in to my more than two decades old hotmail account. It is saying too many attempts and remains logged out. How to proceed❓

  • Zak_Allen Zak Kershaw 🤍💛💙 (@Zak_Allen) reported

    It’s only a perception when everything goes quiet, but it feels like #lufc in the search for an attacker are moving about as fast as @Outlook do when responding to a customer issue

  • HellbenderSTL All for CITY (@HellbenderSTL) reported

    @outlook your spam filter is broken

  • yoursnitin001 Nitin Singhal (@yoursnitin001) reported

    @LeeHurstComic Don't fall for "so called" hacking attempt. This seems to be a glitch at @Outlook end. But they are just sleeping on it.

  • GerryHBrennan Gerry Brennan 💙 (@GerryHBrennan) reported

    @Outlook Every single help function is not working. Do I just shut my account or do you have anyone to assist?

  • Anthony_Burns 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Tony Burns 🌟💙 (@Anthony_Burns) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with @Outlook this morning. The app updated this morning and now keeps crashing

  • Zak_Allen Zak Kershaw 🤍💛💙 (@Zak_Allen) reported

    @Outlook still an issue ongoing with my mail account. I have no idea what is going on and your customer service team are taking forever to come back to me! A week without my email!!!

  • theadonismilan ADONIS MILAN 🌟 (@theadonismilan) reported

    @Outlook I receive sooooo many spam and phishing emails that I report to you every time and no action has been taken to overhaul this issue. What’s next?

  • Cryptobraini Naveed Anjum (@Cryptobraini) reported

    @Outlook No live chat and customer support is available to solve this issue. It’s like a loop with no way out. I’ve tried everything, and there’s no real support from Microsoft to help fix it. For a company this big, it’s shocking how bad the recovery process is.😡😡😡😡

  • cryptofreelife_ CryptoMeta (@cryptofreelife_) reported

    @MonsignorMrtnez @Outlook Having same issue. Fire the developers

  • guptasubhash365 HODLer dad🥇🏆 (@guptasubhash365) reported

    @Outlook @Outlook @Office please confirm when it will be fixed.. every time I try to login,it says "Too many requests" error.

  • docalok Dr Alok Gupta MD, FIAP, Jaipur (@docalok) reported

    @AshikHasibul @Outlook @Metrix_techz You are yourself a problem !!

  • Raanaism Ra'ana Kanwal 🌸 (@Raanaism) reported

    @Outlook I am unable to login to my Hotmail ID; neither through phone nor system. Tried taking help through the support link. That didn’t work either for me. Please help!

  • Shuvam Shuvam (@Shuvam) reported

    @luisbull82 @Outlook They are using an AI algorithm for security. The problem is what they have fed into it. It's irritating, not being able to check your mails if you want to. They have become even better than Gmail at data mining, but at least Gmail is accessible, unlike this nonsense.

  • AlphaBarbieSays Alpha Barbie 🇺🇸 (@AlphaBarbieSays) reported

    @Outlook I hope that whoever developed New Outlook never finds the cool side of the pillow as long as they live. And gets bedbugs. This is by far the WORST version of outlook. I thought the last one sucked bc of subpar search results, but no. This is TERRIBLE to to bottom.

  • OffThePost_MUFC 🇿🇦🇿🇦Leroy🇿🇦🇿🇦 (@OffThePost_MUFC) reported

    @s_net @Outlook @MSFT365Status Are you still having the issue? I’m experiencing the same issue in my organisation since yesterday.

  • yoursnitin001 Nitin Singhal (@yoursnitin001) reported

    @Shuvam @Outlook @satyanadella Fully agree. Nothing is working. Tried different networks/devices/accounts. Same error everywhere. No one is listening.

  • CPunella Carmine Punella (@CPunella) reported

    Calendar sync between Apple Calendar and Outlook is a nightmare. Never works as expected — and keeps dumping random meetings into my schedule. How is this still a thing in 2025?! Am I the only one? Please @Apple @Outlook, work together and fix this 🙏
