  @Outlook like many people I've been logged out in my phone and can't log back in despite using the correct password. This problem has been an issue for a month now, what are you actually doing to fix it?

  Luke Hearns (@LHearns2) reported 7 minutes ago

  @RginaG @Outlook @Microsoft Yup. Same here. And all steps that some people have said fixed the issue for them, have not worked for me either.

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

  @Outlook @Microsoft I reported fraud to you 4 days ago. And have still have ZERO response. my details are STILL compromised due to your lack of urgency with such a sensitive issue. Everything else was sorted in hours by various other companies. Shocking.

  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

  I love (not really) how I need to login each time on outlook web. I mean, each freaking time man @Outlook -- you're a 3.19 TRILLION USD company, I think wont be difficult to fix something like this.

  @Microsoft @Outlook y'all better fix the spam and phishing processes. Way too many spams that are not being blocked. The security team needs to wake up and do their job!!!!!!

  @Microsoft @Outlook How is it you have to PAY to protect your accounts location wise? Why has no government stepped in here. I have a Hotmail/Outlook account that’s constantly getting Auth prompts from other countries. Why can I not restrict it to my own! It would fix 90% !

  @awstar11 @Microsoft @Outlook Because deep down they know no one should use any of their products and they're subconsciously trying to drive users away? Best I got. If you figure it out let me know, been wondering this for decades.

  @Outlook I am tired of that add E-mail to protect your account sh!!!t. I can not sign in you should stop that sh!!!t.

  Dodgy Anon (@DodgyAnon) reported 32 minutes ago

  @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.

  Luke Hearns (@LHearns2) reported 35 minutes ago

  Well @Microsoft .. guess I better sort out all my **** that I use a hotmail account for and get it changed over to Gmail or other option. 3 days down is a little much when finances/trips/etc depend on info sharing via email. #microsoft #outlook #hotmail @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  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

  @Outlook why in the blue **** do you make it so god damn hard to attach files to emails? It’s ****** text I shouldn’t have to compress that **** down and split it into multiple files, just tell me what is the point, using your clunky dog **** email system makes my job harder

  We’re in 2026 and @Outlook still can’t fix notifications and badges on iOS. It’s NEVER RIGHT. Always get these mystery notifications. Telling me 2 new emails and there’s only 1. Most frustrating thing. #outlooksucks

  @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.

  Try another verification method That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method. @Outlook @Microsoft hurry up and fix this

  @Outlook My iPhone has been harassing me daily to "log-in" despite me never having logged out. you keep trying to push me to your broken "Authenticator App", no good. My password, set up 15 years ago, now doesn't work. Screw it! Screw you! Deleting the app is easier.
