LOGIN ERROR : TOO MANY REQUESTS

Question

Query Title: "Login Error: Too Many Requests - Need Assistance"

Query Body: "Hello Microsoft Community,

I am logging in personal account and I'm encountering an issue when trying to log in, and I receive the error message: 'Too Many Requests.' This has been happening consistently, and I'm unsure how to resolve it. I've tried waiting for a while before attempting to log in again, but the problem persists.

Could anyone provide guidance on why this might be happening and how I can fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!"

Answer 1

Dear Harshal Parikh

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community

Based on your description, I understand that you seem to be being blocked from your account by too frequent login requests, please point out if I am misunderstanding.

This may be due to a network issue at the time the login request is sent, I suggest you try to try logging into your Microsoft account again by switching to a different device and network environment first.

You can try to change the login device (PC/Mobile/Tablet), sometimes some software in the device may be incorrectly identified as a threatening item. After eliminating the problem of the device, you can try to switch the network environment, try to switch the mobile phone hotspot/home WIFI network environment

You can also try switching on or off three-way proxy software (VPN) or switching nodes to force you to use a server in another region to log into your account.

If you are still stuck at the screen with too many login requests, you can also try changing your account password and logging in with the new one. When resetting your password, please make sure that the email address you send it to is a known email address that you have access to, as in your case, it is not impossible to rule out the possibility of a hacker script trying your account password over and over again.

This reply may not directly address your issue, so feel free to let me know how it goes any time by repling below.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Here's a link to the MS website where they describe getting an alias. i was able to do this because I had a system with my Outlook on it. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-or-remove-an-email-alias-in-outlook-com-459b1989-356d-40fa-a689-8f285b13f1f2

Good luck!

Answer 3

That didn't work either. The method of getting an alias to log in was the ultimate solution.

what does "getting an alias" mean

and in any case, why should we be locked out of our own account because of something wrong with Outlook programming

Answer 4

now microsoft won't let me in.. always too many request... even have to change my password a lot of times...

same issue here.

problem is of recent origin as in last nearly 10 years never faced it.

so annoying and waste of time having to try different ways to get into YOUR OWN account and having to change password so frequently

Microsoft/Outlook seems helpless and have given up

Answer 5

I also keep mostly getting the message, 'Too Many Requests' when I try to sign in to my Microsoft accounts and I am using the right username and password.

The only time that I can get into my accounts seems to be it is if I get the message up that says something like, 'Would you like to stay logged in?' with 'Yes' and 'No' options underneath it, which happens randomly, and it's so frustrating because it doesn't always come up, and you cannot seem to get help unless you can log into your account, and there no human being to talk to if you can't get into your account, which is ridiculous.

I've never had any issues like this before, but it's been happening for a week now.

Get it sorted Microsoft.

you are absolutely right.

the problem is clearly with Microsoft/Outlook programme system/algorithm

this problem has been faced only lately not earlier.

but Outlook is simply unwilling to set it right and always keeps advising the user to do this or try that.

sad
