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.

    Same thing: yet this is the email as a secondary notification that Microsoft requires...so when they proclaim "you have to get a CODE" there will be no other email to forward Microsoft outlooks required CODE?

    And all while Microsoft allegedly was coming up with a new email forward which was not functioning.. SO upon making a comment--no account!  Is that retaliation?  Also, I give my time to help mentally challenged: so now their "free accounts" are blocked too.  While I, or we  appreciate the "non paying: emails...is everyone being treated the same?  I refer to the free accounts, then Microsoft making changes that do not function and when one does comment blatantly--the accounts are being denied...because of true factual feedback.  Got news for you..that is lst AMEND Rights in the USA...for US Citizens..law abiding too!  How convenient: check the box for feedback--but the account is "something went wrong etc" so where will the responses be forwarded.?  PARADOX controlled by Microsoft Outlook employees: where offshored, on foreign soil foreigners or whom?

    I don't see any of these options, but I am having the same problem. Can you provide me a link?

    Solution: abandon your Live/Hotmail/Rewards account that is having the issue, and just start a brand new account. You won't retain any of your credits, but after 3 months of trying to get an answer on the error, this is the only thing that worked.

    That means that they were hacked and won't tell you that of course because it looks bad for them.  The outage has been going on for a lone time now.  Outlook and Hotmail are not dependable anymore.
