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.

Same Problem here. And not the 1st time. I often get the Too many request error of someone failing to access my account. I followed their instructions and went to 2 verification system and it only makes it worse.
Microsoft obviously has some issues and are hiding away from us.
@clau b2010, just to note outlook still forwards to my paid email account and so far I can access outlook from my phone. When I try to open outlook on my Surface the inbox shows for about 3 seconds then the "two many tries" screen pops up. It is strange that I was able to log into Microsoft to reply to this post!
The only work around I have been able to make work is:
My Yahoo account works on the new Outlook. Our other accounts are all wi.rr.com. I can access those accounts going directly to wi.rr.com mail. Once I accessed them, I forwarded the mail to my yahoo account and now I get the mail from all 4 of our accounts coming to my Yahoo mail through Outlook. It's nuts, but it works until they fix this problem.
Good luck.
Exactly

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!
