    I was facing the same issue, so let me tell what solved it to me. Microsoft didn't give a damn to even answer my question about facebook chat not working with their services (Outlook, Messaging App, WLM (both desktop and iPhone app), so thanks to one 3rd app trying to hack in my facebook acc I received an email from facebook  telling me to change my password, which I did. Some minutes after changing my facebook password, Microsoft sent me an email informing me that they were having issues with connect my account -- because of the password change -- and that could be solved by re-connecting. After I reconnected my account, magically services started to work again -- and still working. That solved the issue to me. 

    Instructions: Change your facebook password then wait for an email from Microsoft to reconnect your account. I hope it helps.

    Hi Victor,

    Thanks for this update :)

    Actually I've tried to follow your steps earlier but it didn't helped. Just curious to know something extra from you - My Facebook account has login notifications enabled, device notification enabled and runs on HTTPS compulsorily. Can you just test out with this combination on your end? I'll be much more grateful to you to know your experience on this combination.

    Hi,

    I have the same settings as you, except for login notifications. I don't think that login notifications may have something to do with it. Actually I don't have a clue why this issue happens -- hurry up Microsoft! --. I'm sorry

    Hi,

    Thanks for your very quick reply. I seriously think you should have been on Microsoft side :) You are the quick responder.

    Anyways, let me wait for those Microsoft lazy bones to get on work. I fail to understand that for what they are taking the salary and why they are running this forums.
