Is my Account lost forever?
I´ve been getting the error that i see lots of people have been getting lately. The dreaded:
You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password.
This is the first time in my whole life i have been unable to solve a problem with an account i own accross everything i own.
It all started when i decided to clean my Cache, browser history (everything pretty much) from my chrome browser. I then started loggin into most of my accounts that i usually just never log off since this is my personal PC.
When i get to Outlook, wich i use for everything personal related, it shows me the message. I then start the unending loop wiht my account.
I try 2FA with my phone. Change the password. Nope, same message.
I wait 24hs
I then try logging from a different IP, then phone using cellular data and whilst using incognito mode just to be safe. Nope, same message.
I wait 72hs+
I try filling out the account recovery form. I add all the info i can provide to show its actually me trying to log in. I get an automated response to my second GMail mail telling me to head to a link to change my password. I change my password. Then the mail explains that i should sign in and change my security 2FA and log in options to be safe. I click the link, try to log in. Guess what? NOPE, same message.
I wait another 72hs+ (As users with the same problem keep suggesting between tries)
I´m from Argentina so, theres literally no way for me to actually get in contact with a human being. All of the support pages keep asking me to log in before i do anything (I Obviously can´t)
I say screw it, and call the US line. Its an AI voice. I explain my problem. The voice automatically hears log on problem and says "Log in problems can be solved using Microsoft support page" and instantly hangs up.
I wait 48hs+
Try again since some users said it suddenly worked after a while. Nope, same message.
I wait 72hs again
I try Updating my bios. Nope. I Try downloading firefox and heading to-- Nope again.
I try any convievable fix that people havve already suggested. N O P E, same message.
Am i actually doomed? Its been at least a month. I´m really tired man, i just want to get into my Outlook Email and Linkedin. Do i have a chance or is it just faster to just give up all my accounts that are now impossible to access cause they use microsoft and make new ones?
I feel so trapped in a loop ffs.
