    @Outlook wtf is going on with email login -- why is the valid password with the special characters that you made me specifically choose not enough for me to login from the same exact laptop I use every day?

    My bank account (Isbank) is officially linked to this compromised email address. I am ready to submit legal/banking documentation. This is not just an account issue, this is an active financial cybercrime in progress! @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

    Calling the new @Office @Outlook garbage would be unfair to all garbage. Why the heck would you come out with such a slow web app looking monstrosity. Go back to legacy.

    @culturedpearl47 @Outlook Can you share a screenshot of the error?

    @Outlook I liked Outlook Express, BUT, I just can’t stand Outlook in it’s present configuration. It has to be slimmed down and more useful before I’ll use it. I like MS, but I don’t like Outlook at all…just way too complicated.

    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!

    @Microsoft @Outlook I can post this screenshot into ANY AI and they will ALL come back and tell me this email is a scam, so shouldn't we expect the same from the @outlook mail filter? Please DO BETTER, why is this hard at least let us in on the technical issues as to why this is so hard!

    @MSFT365Status @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I am still unable to get into my Hotmail account after 3+ days on ANY device or app and internet. Please take these issues seriously and fix this. This is NOT an intermittent problem, it is an OUTAGE.

    @Outlook 4 inscrutable puzzles to help you fight “the robots” only for it to encounter an unexpected error and have me do it again. Useless anti-user company. Absolute out of touch disgrace.

    @KyleDavey86 @Outlook @KyleDavey86 Were you able to fix this? I had the exact same issue with the robot and now I can’t even get that far anymore

    Has anyone else downgraded from the new @Outlook to the old one? The new Outlook keeps asking me to sign in for every mailbox.

    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.

  • 1967Christian

    @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.

    @eternalsparrow1 @USCPSC They are still selling fraudulent capacity 18650 batteries but CPSC is not taking them down on that. Also the remedy involves contacting an @outlook.com email so CPSC is posing a potential cybersecurity risk.

    @lovemesomeALLI @Microsoft @Outlook Try the following. Login using any mobile number linked to email. Instead of email address. With current password.
