Out of the blue, I can't log in for Hotmail anymore.

Out of the blue, I can't log in for Hotmail anymore. They want alternative log in (facial recognition/Fingerprint/access key) by way of Microsoft "Hello". But there, it says that all of those options are "currently" not available. Or it suggests that I log in with a differnt device (buying an other laptop)? 🥲This is weird.

 

What is all this Bull about? Anyone else affected by this?

This happened to me about two years ago. I had been using a bookmarked url, that all of  sudden stopped working. They had changed the url.

 

Cleared cookies and cache, then went through MSN to outlook.live and could log in there.

I clear cookies and cache daily. Have tried other log in avenues with the dame result.

Hotmail, and also Yahoo have been a thorn in my side for years, because I do travel frequently, and every time I am in a new location, I have to jump through hoops to try and log in, often unsuccessfully.

 

Only GMail has allowed me to be connected no matter where in the world I am.

Agree.  In the bit of China I live in Gmail works fine. If I go 30km north it doesn't.  Go figure.

How can I change my password if I can't log in?

Passwords only are not trustable. Use Authenticator app. and password both. &nbsp
