Every time I try to log in to my emails, Hotmail refuses to let me in to my account because I’ve got my password wrong too many times. I’ve changed my password at least three times in the past 2 days, but it’s still not allowing me to go in even though I’m putting in the correct password.
Is this happening to anyone else? What do I need to do to stop this happening over and over again?

I use a yahoo email address and I use it on the web (Chrome) and I use the web version on my phone.

I can receive messages from hotmail and outlook addresses but I when I reply or send a new email to them they bounce back. "Unable to deliver message after multiple retries, giving up."

I have used my gmail to send messages to these recipients and asked them to check if my yahoo address is somehow blocked.

Yahoo wants me to pay to get help!!!

Any ideas?

Anyone able to use the authenticator app for the one hotmail account on two different devices? I am able to set it up for my work email, can receive the authenticator prompt on two different mobile devices. Does anyone know if this also works for personal hotmail account? Just in case one phone is misplaced at least I have another device on standby to authenticate and login. I have given up using passwords, always get "You've tried to sign in with a wrong password too many times" even on correct password !

I reset my password a week ago with no issues using the recovery form. I also started the 30 day security info reset at that time. Then a week later I got an unusual sign in attempt notification from a strange location. Within 3 days my password stopped working and I can’t login in, but it says my security info reset is still pending. My question is, how was a hacker able to reset my password during that time and why am I no longer able to check my email? Will I be able to reset my email after the 30 day period is up?
