    @Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook

    @Outlook I’m struggling to get any traction from your support teams to regain access to my Hotmail account. Recovery forms are not working. Who do I escalate to? I have had this issue for 1 month now.

    @Outlook Unfortunately, I'm having trouble uploading images. And it's a very minor problem. Why is uploading images such a problem? When I upload one, delete it, and then try to upload it again, I have trouble. It's a very old problem these days.

    @Outlook @Microsoft Why does Microsoft make it increasingly difficult to sign in to check Outlook?? If you’re trying to make it “better”, you’re failing hard. I wish you could take your email address with you to a different provider like your phone number.

    @Outlook I urgently need engineering‑level support to restore my mailbox from a date before April 6. Only your internal engineering team can recover this. Please stop sending automated replies and actually read my case. It’s been 2 days and the server snapshots are expiring.

    @Outlook I need my Outlook mailbox restored to a date before April 6. This was NOT deletion — the attacker overwrote the body of multiple emails. I urgently need this escalated to the engineering team before the server snapshots expire.
