I just fixed mine (was on mac using Chrome Incognito)! To fix yours:
Visit that landing page's site settings (microsoft.com) and change it's permissions so that anything that's set to "Block" is changed to "Allow" instead.
To do this in Chrome, paste this into your chrome browser: chrome://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com
(or while on any microsoft.com page like that landing page, click the settings symbol to the left of the url in the address bar and then click "site settings".)
I don't know for certain which permission(s) fixed it but I think you may only need to enable or Allow "Pop Ups & Redirects",
but it could have been any one of these permissions that I changed from "Block" to "Allow":
- Notifications
- Pop Ups & Redirects
- Intrusive Ads
- Insecure Content
- Third Party Sign-in
- Window Management
The above may have only helped me login to my hotmail (set up a passcode) in Incognito Chrome browser. Turns out I still had trouble outside of Incognito... so then I went and deleted all of the microsoft site data and was able to login outside of Chrome.
Answer from Charles Willner on learn.microsoft.comCan't log in to hotmail/outlook
Can’t log in to Hotmail account at all?
What is WRONG with Outlook/Hotmail? Login/password issues All THE TIME
"Can't log in"
How do I sign in to Hotmail?
Can I sign in to Hotmail from a mobile device?
What should I do if the Hotmail sign in page shows an error like “Something went wrong” or “We can’t sign you in right now”?

>> This is purely a redirect issue on Microsoft's end.
You are correct. And it's like a plague. Do a search for "Can not logon to outlook.com deeplink=%2fmail%2f0" to see all the people having this problem.
The only solution that seems to work (sometime) is using your browser's Private/Incognito mode.
Or use the New Outlook for Windows App instead of a browser.

I can’t log in to my hotmail account - just keeps refreshing the homepage and login screen. Anyone else?
What the hell is going on with outlook/hotmail?
1st off, whenever I try to access hotmail to login it tells me the site is in high demand and its too busy and to try again later. This has been non-stop the past week.
When I FINALLY get to the login screen it tells me I've used too many password attempts. I only tried 1 time!
THEN, when I type my password in it says it's not the correct password. I KNOW MY PASSWORD I LITERALLY WROTE IT DOWN ON A PAPER IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
THEN it tells me to use my back-up to get it to open which says the same things. Now it wants my phone number to have it unlocked? Like no! You can't have my phone # WTH
Are they getting hacked? OR.... what?! I made 2 emails now as side emails (So my professional/regular email doesn't get scammed with products or hacked on a daily basis which its full of non-sense already) that I use for signing up online for shopping/AI image gens./games/etc. and I literally can't access both of them anymore and 1 of them isn't even a month old.
Can someone please explain this $h!tty email system for me? It never used to be like this. Used to be good. I can login to my main iv'e been logging into for years and years just fine. BTW, How do I remove storage for this one? It says i'm 85% full but no matter how many attachments I delete and after clearing out entire junk emails it has not budged.
Any other suggestions for emails cuz im sick of this. Their site is obv. busy cuz people have to create 100 diff emails cuz their system is TRASH now lol
New Issue LOL Hit the sign in button and it just keeps going back to the home page. No logins for anything. Time for something new come on outlook get it together.
