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

Hi Alden D,
Thank you for the tips. However I have already tried all those things that you mentioned and still have problems logging in.
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:

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.
