    @CTestuser @Outlook @getpostman Hey 👋🏼 Which parts of that login journey are you having issues with, we would love to hear your feedback. 🙏🏼 You shouldn't have to login each time you use the platform, unless you explicitly log out each time.

    @CA75253969 @Outlook Many people. In my case I was able to login 2 times in the past month. Its totally random. After I managed to login the 1st time (1 month ago) I thought it was over, but 2 weeks ago I had to clear my browsers cache to fix another issue &tried to re-login &the bug was still there.

  • LeonBurakx Leon (@LeonBurakx) reported

    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

  • ThanosBompotas Thanos - 3D artist (@ThanosBompotas) reported

    @CA75253969 @Outlook Just keep trying to login daily (one attempt only per 24hours) and hopefully you ll get in. Also like I mention in my original post, Edge was the only browser that would let me login and at least have access to my emails all this time.
