Florian Bador (@florianbador) reported@Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook
-
Mrknavish 🇺🇸 (@Mr_Knavish) reportedHey @Outlook wtf is up with your tech support. I call because my email was hacked and the hacker was locking me out of other accounts and buying nearly $2k of Walmart gift cards. When I reached out for help your tech heard my problem then hung up. Now no one at tech won’t call because the one that flaked on me when I needed him most flagged my phone number (the one that’s been on file for years)

Dean Ashton (@Dean_Tonberry) reported@Outlook @Microsoft Let me back into my email I have had over 20+yrs with no problems you suddenly want to verify, for no reason that govt control. I never got locked out, compromised or illegal activity. It has been fine until now. You are helping to cause the problems this way.
