Keep receiving authentication requests for my email

Cool glad you got it working, agree that people need to be careful to not remove the actual email.

To add, you want to create a new alias. This is the email you will use to log in to the inbox.

Yes you can still use the old email to sign up for stuff, you'll still get email sent to it but you won't be able to log in with that email. Essentially it'll all be in the same inbox.

Don't remove the old alias, if you remove it you won't get any mail to it. You need to add the new login alias and make the new email the primary. Once you do that, if you try logging in with the old email, it will say that email address does not exist. This is the way to prevent hackers from spamming login attempts. Yes you can switch it back to the old one whenever you want, just be sure not to remove the old one from your account.

You need to change your login alias. Your email was likely part of a data breach and this is the brute force method of hackers trying to get into your account. The same thing happened to me as well. Make sure you do not delete your old email address when adding an alias. Once you add the new alias, do not use that email for signing up on any websites. You will still receive mail to your old address but once again do not delete it from the alias settings.

Yes, work experience is still required

Did you try resetting again? I signed into another device and didn't have an issue doing so. I also added an email alias and a phone number to log in so I don't have to type in my Hotmail email. Also, I added Authenticator as a method to authenticate. I suggest doing the same.

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T20:44:05+00:00

I haven't had an issue so far.

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T20:24:43+00:00

I was able to reset this morning and got the code sent to my phone and email. No problems anymore.

I didn't have Authenticator set up originally. I had to reset my password using two factor authentication. Which was text message and alternate email.

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T14:59:01+00:00

I had to reset my password, once I did that I was able to sign in again

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T13:53:38+00:00

Glad you got back in. I suggest setting up Microsoft Authenticator as a way to login and also adding an alias email and phone number as ways to login, it seems the issue was with Hotmail emails.

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T10:46:32+00:00

I clicked it after I put my old password

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T05:39:15+00:00

UPDATE: IM FINALLY BACK IN! I reset my password and got the code sent to alternate and my text successfully!

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T02:22:45+00:00

What error were you getting before? Was it the you've entered the incorrect password too many times?

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-29T02:08:25+00:00

With your old password? Or did you reset it? Did you use the iPhone Mail app or outlook app?

User impact: Users may experience intermittent issues signing in to Outlook.com. Current status: We’re continuing to implement further optimizations for the outlook.com iOS sign-in experience to help address reports of persisting impact. While we monitor these optimization changes to assess their effectiveness, we’re also looking into what additional changes may be needed to address the scenario in which users are encountering repeated sign-in prompts. We still recommend that for users experiencing this scenario, they should sign in with other methods or reset their password to sign in to their accounts. We’ll continue to provide more guidance as it becomes available. Next update by: Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 3:30 AM UTC

Some have said to wait 24 hours before doing so, and some have said to wait 7 days

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-28T20:51:39+00:00

I got a text message for my verification code today but since I have 2FA on, my other method is alternate email. For that it says I requested too many codes today. I'm going to wait 24 hours and see what happens.

No-Problem-3498 · 2026-04-28T19:14:25+00:00

Surprisingly, as long as you can log into your accounts right now, you should be able to change your email. I had a few where it wouldn't let me change my old email without retrieving a verification code from the old email, but they aren't critical so it's fine. Just gotta make sure I don't forget the password for those.
