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.

2025-04-07T13:11:15+00:00 I had the same issue. It will not let me login and I changed the password many times.
The apparent cause is Microsoft thinks there has been fraud or your account or it was hacked. They do not tell you this but just block your account.
The only way around Microsoft is to add an alias to your account. Look for directions on how to do this. you will never be able to long into your account except through your alias.
When you log in though your new alias, you can see all of your messages and people can still send messages to your old name, but for all time moving forward you need to only log into your alias

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
