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.

    Yes, it is on a loop if rejecting you and making you sign up to second verification. Perhaps more than that.

    I haven accessed my several accounts in a month.

    But I have subscribed to a paid one, Outlook, never again!

    Has anybody found a solution???

    I believe this affected millions, and Microsoft is covering it up. Nothing in the media? And no attempts to contact us to fix it, to compensate for damages (business, travel, education, job loss)????

    Let me know if you got a workaround

    Remove the account from within Settings and then re-add it. Does that change anything?
