Hi @Pedro Muniz ,

I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble logging into your Outlook account.

According to my search, this error message may indicate that there is a temporary problem with the Outlook service, and you may need to wait for some time before trying again. Here is a similar thread: Unable to change outlook password - Temporary Problem

Alternatively, you can try some of the following steps to fix the issue:

• Clear your browser cache and cookies, and then restart your browser.
• Try using a different browser or device to access your Outlook account.
• Make sure your internet connection is stable and secure.
• Check if there are any updates or maintenance issues with the Outlook service. You can see the status of Microsoft Office Online Services at the Service Health portal.

Can Microsoft stop asking people to change their passwords? I was just told today that in the next five days, I have to change my Windows 11 password to be able to access my console. Every time I try to do that, no new password is accepted. This should be a decision the customer makes to make sure the customer can always create a new password whenever desired. I tried to change my password enough times top realize that a new one would not be considered to be an option if the old password expires, unless there is a way to save a new password if you really do want to change your windows 11 password. Thanks.
