Florian Bador (@florianbador) reported@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

Nowshad Hossain Rahat (@nhrdev) reported@mdnlabs login to @Outlook :/ even valid 2FA methods stops working

-
Betsy Robinson (@betsyjulia) reported@Outlook HELP! I cannot sign in to Outlook. It's permanently marked closed because of too many attempts with wrong password. When I try to change password, my 2nd verification cell phone attempt gets "this method is not available." I cannot find help anywhere.
-
Cheekyman81 (@1_hsm) reported@Outlook why are your teams refusing to help with my Hotmail account recovery and just asking me to fill out recovery forms again and again. This is not working. This is my own personal data which I have a right to. Please help me

Suzanne Lanoue (she, her, hers) 🤎🧡🩷❤️💗💖💜💝💘 (@slanoue2016) reported@Outlook How do we get support from a live person? Nothing is working. My husband can get on his Hotmail account on his phone, but it's not working on any of our laptops. He doesn't have MS Authenticator set up, and it's confusing as to how to do that. When we ask to send a code to his phone, it never arrives. He's not sure about his password. When he tried it, it said he was locked out. He doesn't have a security key, etc. When we tried phoning for help, the automated thing just sends us back to the Web. Please help! This is maddening.

-
Keegan Lanier (@keeganlanier) reportedAnyone using @Outlook on iOS having massive issues lately? Emails looking like they’ve been sent to only delete the message and return a blank email to draft without sending the original email? Emails ready to send, but the exit and send buttons won’t work. The app isn’t frozen, but you have to force close the app and hope the latest draft saved all changes. This is only happening on iOS to my knowledge
