  When you can implement input focus in 2 steps out of 3 in the login form, what's the reason to not implement in the OTP section too @Outlook?

  Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Outlook looking at your tweet history only solidifies the growing issues with the new outlook. Is there a computer brand that doesn't have the new version of outlook on it, anywhere. - just the classic version? So the general public can avoid the problems

  Did you know if you use Outlook email and want to insert an American Flag emoji, there isn’t one? There’s a gay pride and a rainbow flag though. Fix that @Outlook 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  Day 3 without being able to access my emails. I am now able to get a code through my phone number, but then is asking me for a second authentication, I then type in the code my Authy app gives me and it’s not working! @Outlook @MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps

  @Microsoft cannot make @Outlook find emails in one's inbox. So much of time is being wasted everyday because Outlook doesn't work. Could someone explain to me why anyone should trust their AI models? If they are so good why don't you use it to fix the email??

  JJ (@JJimisen) reported 29 minutes ago

  Microsoft has to stop making so many changes to its menus in Outlook. It increases irritation and cognitive load too much if people constantly are having to track down where a command is, such as how to insert an emoji in an email. @Outlook #microsoft #microsoftoutlook

  Trying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way. You and your DEI hires just add spam calendar invites without even asking me... Then I can't use the app bc you want me to login with Outlook which is RETARDED because...

  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!

  April 🐭 (@1967Christian) reported 57 minutes ago

  @Outlook I'm trying to sign into my email. It keeps telling me to enter a second email address to "protect my account". I only have one email. I don't want a second email. I'm old fashioned, I just want to sign in using my password, and access my emails.

  Inner Phoenix (@InnerPhoenix420) reported 59 minutes ago

  @Outlook @Outlook has become complete trash, letting unverified emails to email people, 100% are scammers or hackers, and @Microsoft like per usual is trash letting this happen. STILL AN ISSUE, STILL NOT FIXED, PATHETIC.
