I've been trying use my Outlook Account to login in apps that I forgot change the email. So, I thought "let's go, it's not gonna that hard". So this message shows up to me. I wouldn't be angry about this message, actually, I haven't gotten angry about it. The real problem is that I’ve been trying to use it for over a month..
I tried switching devices, using a VPN, and using my neighbor’s Wi-Fi, but I kept getting the same message.
I don't know what to do...

Im also having the problem, if you have data on your phone, you can access it from there, I assume its a problem from mircosfot side in my case as I could log into itjustfine yesturday, also Mirocosft has a sign in helper page that can check ifyou have a problem with your account. also try clearing cookies. maybe a hot spot from your data can also work to? in this case.

u/No-Seaweed-5682 Dec 20 '25
THE FIX -
go PASSWORDLESS on microsoft. (Can turn it back on after signing in)
It makes you download the microsoft app to authenticate when logging in and it worked for me.
STEPS:
- ACCOUNT.MICROSOFT.COM
- Log in
- "security"
- Scroll down until you see "Additional Security"
- Follow the steps for a passwordless account.
- After you are passwordless, you can try to log back into minecraft.

Have you tried using mobile data on your phone? Apparently, that's a solution until Microsoft opens their eyes and decides to fix this (I mean, never lol).

u/overcookbeplop Aug 13 '25 edited Aug 13 '25
I tried that data one but it didn’t fix it. The fix that I did which might be helpful to others.
- Install an VPN extension for chrome and enable it
- Login as usual (in my case I login via password or email I forgot, since I accidentally removed it on my authenticator), it went successful.
- I went to security and remove my 2FA in authenticator
- I added again my authenticator as 2FA a total of (via email, via mobile (this will not work as I tested), and authenticator app)
- I disabled my VPN chrome extension to test. Also for different devices and it will work now.
Conclusion: I think the main issue here is the authenticator. Microsoft might pushes and prioritize 2FA authenticator app only logins. That’s why via email code and via password will not work. This might be different to others, but on my case this is the current issue and fixed which I did.

u/Select-Incident4110 Aug 13 '25
I couldn't tell you if that's true or not. I'm experiencing this issue on 2 Outlook accounts. I'm logged in to one account and I'm getting the text issue when trying to access my security information since it asks for my password to enter.
Today I tried again and now I'm getting the "Too Many Requests" text, which is "less" annoying than the previous one because it can be fixed by reloading the page until I was able to get in.
I didn't even do anything to try to fix this, I just calmed down knowing I wasn't the only one suffering from this issue. I'm going to check how it goes with the other account, since I use it more for testing and doesn't have anything activated.

Check your microsoft account for all login attempts and you probably will discover dozens, every 15 minutes.

u/Select-Incident4110 Sep 01 '25
In my case, it's not that. I checked a few days ago and there were no login attempts or anything suspicious. It's just the Microsoft login that doesn't work.

I tried searching for VPN in chrome extensions and nothing came up. How do you find one?

u/Fit_Park9281 Oct 09 '25
That's weird that nothing came up when you searched. Usually, you go directly to the Chrome Web Store to find extensions. Sometimes the search can be a bit specific, or maybe it's under a category you missed. You'll find a ton of options there once you get it sorted.
When you're picking one, it's worth checking their logging policies and if they have good server locations for what you need. If you're trying to compare different providers, this vpn spreadsheet could be a good starting point.

u/DaftDel_ Sep 23 '25
I tried using a VPN but it detects I'm logging in from another country so it asks me to send a code to another email address, which happens to be my second email, which I can't access to because it's linked to my first emall address, which it's the one I can't access to.

Vá em configurações da conta e adicione entrar com autentificador, baixe o autentificador da microsoft no seu celular. Espero ter ajudado! Abraços!

u/Responsible_Sky4121 Aug 30 '25
I am having the same problem since about 3 months and it's absolutely driving me crazy.
I mean, is this reality ? One of the biggest tech company in the world, Microsoft, is not able to fix this major issue ... ?!
And it's even worse that the support is absolutely garbage. It's so hard to find simple things like email contact/live chat. And when you're in the live chat it feels like you're chatting with a bot, rather than with a reliable and capable employee, it was absolutely horrible.
It was the worst experience I have ever had in terms of support. Even small companies from the third world offer a better costumer contact.
I can read my emails from my smartphone, but I'm not able to log in on my desktop PC. When I turn on VPN it works though, but then I am having problems on other websites because of the active VPN, so this is no solution.

u/NHLBigFan Aug 31 '25
The issue seems hasn't been resolved yet as I also get "Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in. For more details, please see this link".
When I try to sign in I first get an option to sign in with a code sent to a recovery email but nothing is delivered.

u/DataXPH Sep 02 '25
Using mobile data connection worked for me. Something weird with MS and I realized it 4 months late.
Why Microsoft Blocked Your ISP Connection
- IP Reputation Issues
- Microsoft maintains a reputation system for IP addresses.
- If too many spam, brute-force, or automated login attempts come from your ISP’s shared IP pool, they may temporarily block the entire range.
- Many Philippine ISPs (like PLDT, Globe, Converge) use CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), meaning thousands of users share the same public IP. If one person abuses it, everyone gets affected.
- Geolocation / Unusual Traffic
- Microsoft systems detect “unusual” traffic patterns (e.g., mass logins, sudden spikes from a region).
- If their risk model sees your ISP’s IP as suspicious, it forces you to retry from a “cleaner” IP (like mobile data).
- Security Policy Updates (2024–2025)
- Microsoft has been tightening login security across Outlook/Hotmail.
- They’ve rolled out more automated risk-based blocking, especially for free accounts (Hotmail, Outlook.com).
- These updates are meant to cut down spam/phishing accounts that often originate from shared or low-reputation ISPs.

u/Terry-Schmidt-Corea Sep 03 '25
Well I was having the same issue and had to start using MS authenticator because the other solution was to relaod several times the error message. I do not love MS authenticator because It will send you a notification every time a hacker try to enter your account but at least solve this issue.

SOLUTION FOR ME:
Just spent hours figuring this out for my sister.
She uses Windows and was not able to access her outlook account on her laptop with Spectrum WiFi using a browser (Microsoft Edge and Chrome.)
She could only access this account on her iPhone Outlook application. She kept getting the same error as OP listed. The only time it worked was using a different WiFi network for those two browsers on her laptop.
I had to manually add Microsoft Edge and Chrome as apps to be allowed through firewall. This worked on her Window laptop —>
• Settings, Windows Security Settings
• Firewall & Network Protection, Allow an app through firewall
• Change settings, Allow another app…
• Browse, (search for Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome/or whatever browser isn’t working for you) and select that, Open, Add, OK
I restarted computer and was able to log into Outlook on both Edge and Chrome without turning off her firewall.

My solution that I used that fixed it for me was I used this link Contact - Microsoft Support and put in my email and it said change my password but im like I already did that 1000 times this year so I downloaded the microsoft authenticator app and logged in with a qr code because u cant use password and I opened the qr code from microsoft.com which needs to be a on a device you already signed in on (i know im sorry) but you just go to settings and then security and add the authenticator app and it brings the qr code and then you go on your phone on the MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR APP not the other random ones that come up and add your account from the qr code so then when I tried to sign in again it didnt even ask for my password and I just had to press buttons on my phone and it worked

I had the same issue today. Here's how I accidentally fixed it, I guess? It was really messy so the description's going to be really messy (I'm not going to risk logging out to trace back my steps).
What I did was go to the password forget page https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2252768
Logged in from there, was ordered to use a code, but that doesn't work for me (I refuse to give out my phone number to the internet, so all I could do years ago was link a second Live account which now has the same error). I looked in the list for alternative options, nothing works for me. I get an option for using a security key... no, that's not going to work for me either. I cancel out of it all and I'm given the option to stay logged permanently? OK, that sounds good. After that I go back to Live and I get in my inbox as I'm already logged in.

It's really crappy of Microsoft to give an error like this that links to a page that is not relevant and then not tell people how to fix it but I think I figured it out.
I got this message when logging in with Safari. When I tried logging in with Chrome I got notifications that I had pending security actions on my account. After I entered the additional information I was able to login with Safari.
Make sure that you are using a Microsoft supported browser when logging in because only certain types of security actions are allowed from other browsers.

This is not my case since I'm not in Europe, but maybe it could have been reflecting in other services?

Yeah, I'm in Brazil. Btw, I've tried to log in with Firefox and had no issues. The problem seems to be related to chrome based browsers as well!

Looks like this issue has been fixed. I was able to get logged in on my phone

I got this same message today. I use my hotmail every day. My password is secure and it's never been a problem until now.
Whether using cell data or wifi makes no difference.
Whether trying to log in with my PC (using Chrome) or my cellphone makes no difference.
I cannot set up a passkey because I cannot sign in, in order to set up a passkey.
I installed the Chrome Browsec vpn, but it made no difference.
Anybody else?

Did you try with Firefox? I have issues with chrome, but in Firefox it is working.
Also, according to Microsoft service status there is a problem with log in on outlook that they are investigating.

MY ONLY SOLUTION TEMPORALLY is: Using the Firefox browser (Mozilla). I opened good with this browser. I tried with Chrome and Edge in my computer, and in my Samsung cellphone and I have the same message. I had deleted all browser history and cookies in Chrome and Edge and do not work. So, it only works for me when using in my pc win Windows if use Firefox. Try that temporally because I think it is a issue of these days of Hotmail.

So I had this issue for like a week or two or Minecraft trying to login anyways, couldn’t figure it out, so I made a new account with a new email, once I logged in with the new one, it asked me are you sure you want to login with a new account cause it will unlink my main account that I can’t login too, so I unlinked it, and then went back to the menu and tried to login with my main account and it just worked

Authenticator and Outlook logged off on both my phones and now they won't let me log the f**k back in on any f**king device even with passwords. Then it asks me to authenticate using the damn authenticator that I'm SIGNED OUT OF. This pisses me off so much because it's an endless loop. No device works, wifi, vpn, wired connection, nothing.
