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.

    BS - sorry. If that outage was on March 1, then why are the problems persisting. If you use traditional Outlook, it works. It's the new and improved that fights the use of any passwords.

    Same here. Maybe we should get vaxxed for birdflu. Or, try smoke signals, like the plains native peoples.
