    Well @Microsoft .. guess I better sort out all my **** that I use a hotmail account for and get it changed over to Gmail or other option. 3 days down is a little much when finances/trips/etc depend on info sharing via email. #microsoft #outlook #hotmail @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

    The AI bot will tell you that @Outlook know there is an issue too, so this is not new, and still not fixed. Brilliant.

    @TBanton18 @Microsoft @Outlook Had this problem recently- logged me out and despite my password being correct wouldn’t let me back in. Have to use other authentication methods to get back in. Worked eventually but painful.

    now I am locked out of my email account due to 'too many attempts' because of YOUR OUTAGE, an endless loop day 3 and I have to wait 24 to 48 hours to hopefully get my account recovered. Unreal @Microsoft @Outlook DO BETTER!

    @Outlook Posting while your servers are down is asinine behavior 🥴

    @TechWTaylor @Outlook Mine started working again this morning. I’m able to send and receive emails again. Maybe the fix is a slow roll out.

    @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Outlook Update: I finally managed to recover my account. I had to install the Outlook app on iOS and go through the “forgot password” process there. Somehow the verification (robot test) worked there, and I was finally able to reset my password. This just shows how broken the system is — the same process didn’t work anywhere else. Also, Microsoft’s support is even worse than the system itself. No real help, no human support, just useless automated responses. This experience was extremely frustrating.

    @Outlook have had my Hotmail for like 20 years and now I can’t get in. I hate the world we live in where I can’t just talk to someone and solve the problem. Literally everything is useless for support. Companies don’t care to help you anymore.

    @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.
