Hotmail account repeatedly locked

Anonymous

* Locked

On Sat Jan 8, 2022, my outlook/hotmail account was temporarily locked due to "unusual activity". I requested a verification code, and my account was unlocked. I changed my password. I logged in OK the next day. I can receive emails, but as soon as I send an email, my account is locked again. What can I do?

I had over 5 GB of free storage out of 15 GB, and it worked for me. Can't hurt to try it.

I still have 7 GB of free storage (out of 15GB), that cannot be it.

I think you might be a genius and that would make Microsoft workers total idiots that none of them thought of it

I will try later tonight

Love you!
