Outlook Mail won't let me sign in

I just tried to access Outlook and I've been greeted with this message:

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.

I've reset my password, been sent five or six e-mail login codes which have gotten me nowhere - and it wouldn't even send me one to my phone - and I am at the end of my patience. Can someone please advise me what I need to do to fix this? I've been locked out on my iPad and my phone, and trying to refresh on my laptop just gets me that message.

    I tried outlook mail online and it still says the same thing. It's not a new outlook thing. Something on their end.

    I tried that too and no luck. The only account of ours that works with this new outlook is my Yahoo account.

    I signed onto our other accounts at Spectrum (all three wi.rr.com) and then just selected "forward mail" to the Yahoo account.

    At least that way all the mail is coming to one place. But this is ridiculous. The old outlook was working fine.

    I was told to delete my email account and then install it again,

    But I still can’t install it

    Sorry I didn't mean to involve politics into this but I can't help but wonder. So I had to ask, no offense.
