    @simoes_romeo @Outlook Yup. Just fixed it. From last login attempt - need to wait about 1hr. Then these steps: Delete outlook from iPhone mail. Then hard reset phone. Then reinstall Outlook. This worked for me - might help you. Good luck

    @Outlook I’m still locked out my Hotmail in the infinite sign in loop. When is this expected to be fixed for all users? Can’t sign in on iPhone or web browser and I really need this account as it’s my main. Concert tickets, reservations and travel plans all not accessible.

    @davidfowl Please tell the @Outlook team. They don't seem to have gotten that memo and are still building that terrible web-based "new Outlook" for Windows while also building a nice native client for Mac. So they can do it properly, just not for your own platform...
