    My live/microsoft userid/email is in some leaked hack db and now I keep getting these Authenticator requests every few hours by someone trying to access my account. @Microsoft @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps is there a way to geofence my account and lock all access attempts from other countries.

    @Outlook Hi, I’m locked out of my Outlook account. Unable to reset password, get a code via SMS and reached the limit of account recovery requests for today. Anything else I can do? Can you help please? Looks like it was a synch issue which caused this initially.

    What the heck is up with @Outlook?? Been locked out of my email for two days and all I get is “this verification method isn’t working right now” and then it says I’ve requested too many codes! Also can’t contact support cause I can’t sign in or access your chatbot :(

  • hyperactve
    Tariq Ponir (@hyperactve) reported

    Microsoft @Outlook is beyond broken. I accidentally wrote a wrong email ID (external) which failed to deliver. Now, I am trying to send it to the correct id, but outlook keeps "correcting" me to the wrong one. No intuitive way to bypass this. This has to be a joke or something.

  • andrewrdn463
    Andrew (@andrewrdn463) reported

    @Outlook Correct passwords are not being accepted by Outlook: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft - Will I ever be able to access my Hotmail email via the Mail app on my iPhone again? Been down for days now. Keeps saying I’ve tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account which is total lies. My password is 100% correct
