Hello,

When I try to log in to Hotmail using my other account, I get the message "It looks like someone else might be using your account". On the next screen I get "There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later."

I have tried this on several computers using Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. This is going on for several days now. Please suggest on how to solve this.

Regards,

Arthur

    Hello,

    I too am having an issue with one of my end-user's account.  I have cleared the cache on all web browsers (Google Chrome, IE 10, and Firefox).  I am getting the following error:

    "There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later"

    Thank you.

    Hi Carl_311 and MaggieXH.,

    I understand that you both getting the error: "There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later." Let me assist you.

    As our initial troubleshooting step, I recommend that you clear your browser's cache and temporary internet files to make sure that they are not causing your issue. This is often caused by a corrupted file in the browser. Please clear your browser's cookies by following the instructions on the link below:

    **How to Clear Your Browser's Cache**

    I also encourage you to keep your web browser up to date. If you’re not using an updated browser, some parts of Hotmail/Outlook.com might not work and it might not display properly. To download the latest version of browser, go to this link: **Supported browsers**

    In addition, please try to access your email account using another browser or computer and inform us if the same issue happens.

    Lastly, please refer to the article below for more information:

    **I cannot sign into my account. What can I do to solve this issue?**

    Should you have further questions, please let us know.
