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 have Outlook.com on a Windows 7 computer and Microsoft 365 on a Windows 11 computer. I can log into the Microsoft 365 but not Outlook.com.

    Seems Microsoft is closing Outlook.com. Possibly for $$$.

    Wow, you're saying you called Microsoft, can you tell me how you were able to get somebody on the line, beside a robot? Me it's been a month now that I'm trying to recover my hotmail account, because supposingly someone tried to get into my account that I have for over 30 years which I never had a problem with, and using the same password, filled out all the forms and I still get rejected by Microsoft so I wanted to call them but, I'm getting to a wall again.
