I tried all online help resources and submitted an “account reinstatement form” twice, but I already tried all the things they’re suggesting. Nothing is working.

    Outlook keeps asking me to sign in again and to create a passkey. I downloaded Microsoft Authenticator for this, but it no longer works. Now it forces me to create a passkey, and at the end I get an error saying the passkey couldn’t be created. @Microsoft @Outlook

  • elSenorPluto Ripe Plantain™ (@elSenorPluto) reported

    @Outlook Why is there no unified inbox in the new outlook on Windows? This is one of the cons of mega corps. If MS was a small start-up, this issue we have being raging on for the past 2 yrs would have been solved under 2 weeks. You disabled a working app and forced dogshit on us
