When I attempt to login to Outlook, the following is displayed: 

"Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

I have been unable to login for several days now. I have tried to login on many different computers and browsers. Please advise.

    skrohlik,

    This is a very old thread, that already has been answered ... so it is less likely that a Forum Moderator will respond to your recent post.

    I suggest that you start a new thread and ask for help in that thread.

    Hi skrohlik,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forums. I'm glad to assist you with your issue.

    I understand that you're unable to log in to your acount because you're receiving an error message of "Something went wrong and we can't log you in right now".

    Please be informed that this issue should be fixed by now because Microsoft teams have applied a fix in the backend.

    We need to ask you some questions that will help us isolate and resolve your issue:

    • Does the same error message appear on other computer/browser?
    • Did you rename your account prior to this issue?

    Kindly provide the affected email address here so we can investigate your account.

    Note: Please make sure that your email address is in the correct format so our system can mask your email address to prevent others from seeing your email address.

    We're looking forward to your response

    Thanks for your advice.

    After I successfully log into my account (step 1), I am unable to find item #2. Where are the "other options" located? How do you show them?

    Thanks

    Rolando,

    The post from JMH3143 that you are referring to is 8 months old.

    I also cannot find the "other options" either.

    Perhaps connecting with HTTPS is now the only way to connect (i.e., connecting with HTTP no longer available) ... and thus that option is no longer needed. That's my guess ... cannot say for sure. I tried searching but could not find anything from Microsoft stating that HTTPS is now the only way one can connect.
