-
Sparky (@Jouler8) reported@Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.
-
Vikram (@v1krams) reported@Microsoft @Windows @Outlook Why does Outlook's auto-fill username feature fail every time after a Windows update? It auto-populates the username, I enter the pswd, & then get an error because the username apparently isn't recognized. Happens after every restart. Frustrating.

Emmanuel Valle (@valle_emma61666) reported@simoncarrington @Outlook Yep. Skip the form loop and call support or use account recovery from a device he’s used before, same wifi helps a lot. I heard about Fomr and lol even free form tools feel less broken than Outlook’s mess
