Dr. Piyush Fulara (@drfulara) reported@Outlook I am not able to login my account as I forgot my password. So I tried to login using Phone Number OTP to sign in but all it shows is - "That method isn't working right now. Please try another way to verify it's you" Kindly help me to access my outlook account
-
Markus Trezdziack (@m_trezdziack) reported@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

Finchwizard (@Finchwizard) reportedWe’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

Jimmy Fallon (@JimmyFal) reported@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!

None of These Candidates (@noneofthesecand) reportedTrying to think of a way @Outlook or @MicrosoftHelps could be EVEN MORE retarded but I can't think of a way.

-
Liam_profile (@Liam_profile) reported@Outlook is down and suddenly the entire corporate world has remembered how dependent we are on email. 💀 Emails delayed. Messages failing. Login issues. People refreshing Outlook like it’s going to magically fix itself. One cloud outage → millions of workflows pause. The internet runs on infrastructure most people never think about… until it stops working.

Jay ♡ (@xwxfoxie) reported@lostliano @Outlook @Microsoft I see a lot of people hating on you which isn’t fair - I can see the effort, but I think the main issue is the typography - it just feels “off” (and then I’m not a fan of the tab switcher) - but other than that it is really really really good. Good work!

GUAL CYBR (@gual_cybr) reported@ViEaglen06 @Outlook I can fix your account! Dm me

April 🐭 (@1967Christian) reported@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.

William (@dxgl_org) reported@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.
