Today I received an email from Microsoft saying
| Security alert |
|---|
| We think that someone else might have accessed the Microsoft account ed**___@___.___. When this happens, we require you to verify your identity with a security challenge and then change your password the next time you sign in. |
I've changed logged in, went through the security checks, and I've changed my password, but now when I try to log in, it tells me
Something went wrong and we can't sign you in at the moment. Please try again later. The Microsoft account login server has detected too many repeated authentication attempts. Please wait a moment and try again.
I'm on a Mac, and I can't access it through the Mail app, nor through a web browser. I've cleared the cache, I've restarted both the app and the browsers and the computer, I've tried different browsers, as well as Incongito Window mode, with no luck. It works on my phone Outlook app, though. But I can't access my emails on my computer?
Any ideas? How long do I have to wait to try it again? I've allowed an hour to pass and I'm still experiencing the same issue.
Thanks.
