I have been away overseas for a month now and Outlook will not allow me to open my emails, as soon as I open it I can see my email then it disappears. it takes me to a log in and when doing so it gives me this message above. I am not sure what to do. I can access my emails on my phone but not on my laptop.

Please advise

    Hi,

    What message appears when you try to sign in?

    Are you still overseas and trying to access your account on this device?

    This indicates that the system detected a sign-in attempt from an unfamiliar location, so it has temporarily blocked the sign-in. This is a security measure to help protect your account and personal information.

    Please try using a different internet connection. Then, open an InPrivate window (Ctrl + Shift + N) in your browser and try signing in to your account using the link below:

    https://account.microsoft.com/

    Can you access your account there?
