Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Zackary Banger (@BangerZackary) reported@comeasyouareTO @Outlook That is to say one login attempt with the correct password is not too many times with the incorrect password
-
Keegan Lanier (@keeganlanier) reportedAnyone using @Outlook on iOS having massive issues lately? Emails looking like they’ve been sent to only delete the message and return a blank email to draft without sending the original email? Emails ready to send, but the exit and send buttons won’t work. The app isn’t frozen, but you have to force close the app and hope the latest draft saved all changes. This is only happening on iOS to my knowledge

Andrew Hopkins (@F19ADH) reportedI see @Microsoft @Outlook must have had another issue/breakdown in spam filters as their service becomes completely unusable for me AGAIN! Multiple copies of emails getting through. As you scan every email how can you not detect spam contents that match deluges of reports to you?

Suzanne Lanoue (she, her, hers) 🤎🧡🩷❤️💗💖💜💝💘 (@slanoue2016) reported@Outlook How do we get support from a live person? Nothing is working. My husband can get on his Hotmail account on his phone, but it's not working on any of our laptops. He doesn't have MS Authenticator set up, and it's confusing as to how to do that. When we ask to send a code to his phone, it never arrives. He's not sure about his password. When he tried it, it said he was locked out. He doesn't have a security key, etc. When we tried phoning for help, the automated thing just sends us back to the Web. Please help! This is maddening.

Mister Kayne (@MisterKayne76) reportedOver 10 lockouts and endless appeals later, @Outlook is officially the most "secure" account I own—mostly because even I can't get into it. @Microsoft , please fix this verification loop. It’s exhausting.
-
Brad (@blcdude1) reportedI’ve had awful luck with @outlook the past week. Every time I log in, I get told there have been too many failed attempts and I’m forced to reset my password. It makes the website feel very insecure, a major security issue.
