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.

    Hello,

    I am having the same issue, as i can't get into my email.

    Have changed my passwords several times and gone through the help line and still not working.

    No problems on the phone and laptop, but only on the PC.

    Can some please help.

    Thanks

    May I ask how did you get into classic? I’d settle for that, it would be better than nothing

    Like I have said in the past. I went to my internet provider and they helped me straighten things out. since then I have had no problems. I tried other places and got no help.
