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.

i don't understand, i am logged in to microsoft and able to reply to this post but unable to access my email, its not been hours its been weeks!
This is terrible, I agree!! I pay for this service and it doesn't even work. No wonder so many people just use Gmail. I even had Microsoft do a remote session and they checked a couple of things and said I should be good to go now and guess what.... NOT !!!!
MICROSOFT - I have read all these please for help.
Nothing works
HELL PLEASE
S O R T T H I S O U T N O W !!!!
please :-)
i found that two browser addons, adguard and Malwarebytes may have been the problem. i turned them off on the outlook page, however i also signed into Microsoft here at the same time, but what ever it was i can now use my outlook email again! without that pesky notification shutting me down...
Getting the same message, seems like its being going on for some time now. How long does it take for MSN to send out a patch/fix.

today i installed MS Teams and faced the same issue
"Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later. The Microsoft account login server has detected too many repeated authentication attempts. Please wait a moment and try again."
MY SOLUTION:-
I tried many times and the following solved the issue :-
Step 1 :- "downloaded Google Chrome" and installed it
Step 2:- "Made Google Chrome my default browser"
Signed in to teams and everything worked like charm.
Probably Team is not supported on Safari/Firefox.
I use firefox as my default browser but now whenever i want to use teams, i first switch default to Chrome and later revert it after using Teams.
I am new to MAC (was a windows user for decades) so Please let me know if any other method anybody else found
