Outlook keeps logging me out every day (both on phone and laptop).

It keeps making me log back in (via the number confirmation system) which is annoying because I have to have my phone on hand at all times to confirm my laptop, and I have to actively check outlook every day just to make sure I haven't missed any emails due to outlook randomly logging me out. Is there a way to bypass this? It's getting very frustrating to deal with.

    I use the web version of Outlook and it's very frustrating having to login constantly and not being able to see if I've received new emails.

    Last week I couldn't download any attachments - I had to forward them to my personal GMAIL!

    I'm doing the same. What an absolute waste of money and time. Microsoft clearly doesn't give a sh*t because this has been going on for nearly a month now to thousands of people. Time to leave Microsoft for Google again. At least Google works. I'm just mad at myself for leaving Google to begin with thinking it would be sunnier over in Microsoft land. What a let down. What a mistake.

    Microsoft can't fix this problem after a month then what is the point of even trying to use the platform. I waste so much time logging in multiple times a day that it has now laterally become the most annoying and wasteful part of my entire work day. The fact that there has been nothing but crickets on this from Microsoft speaks volumes. It's time to switch our company back to Google and make a note for future self the reason so I don't make this stupid mistake of switching again in the future. I fell for the grass is greened in Microsoft land and I've been regretting it ever since.

    Hi,

    I am having this same issue, as are dozens of people in this thread. My organization has indicated that this is a Microsoft server problem, causing the repeated logouts and making it impossible to open attachments in the web browser version of Outlook. Is there a fix coming for this, or no? It has been ongoing for over 2 weeks at this point and no one from Microsoft has followed up with any sort of explanation.

    If any of their support tries to tell you all the standard **** about clearing your browser cache, logging out etc. it's just their way of ignoring this issue for a while longer while making you go through all these meaningless procedures that imply the issue is isolated to you and your particular browser or environment. In other words the problem is yours not theirs, when the evidence is clear, they have a bug on their end and the problem is theirs not ours.

    I created a brand new email account for our organization yesterday. The new email was for a new employee. The email account was accessed for the first time from a new computer and browser that had no previous activity of any kind, least of all any Microsoft logins. By the end of the first day they started experiencing the same behavior of being logged out for no reason.

    This is a Microsoft problem and given the crickets we've been hearing from them on this issue for nearly a month now, it's pretty clear they don't actually care enough to prioritize this.

    I'm going to make sure this thread is not dropped and continues to grow by posting a daily update until someone notices us lowly peons and helps... or until next Friday when we finally decide to move our company back to Google where we should have stayed to begin with.
