    Please, I have the same error and just with hotmail.it. I have also accounts with hotmail.com and live.it.

    The problem is just with hotmail.it and it is a huge problem because that's my official account for work and the rest.

    It's not possible open it from any device.

    They ask me at the very beginning the telefone number for more security, but after that, I cannot login in any way.

    From Italy.

    Help us, please.

    Thank you.
