Too Many Requests | Microsoft Login Error

I've been getting a "Too Many Requests" login error for hours today trying to access my Microsoft account and anything related to it such as OneDrive.

It appears that this problem has been happening to other people for quite a while. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any workarounds or fixes?

LOGIN ERROR: TOO MANY REQUESTS | Microsoft Community

There are also threads on Reddit about it.

possibly failed login attempts from others. i have mfa on mine that requires a prompt on the app to login no matter what. every few weeks i check login attempts and there are tons from all over the world (or vpns). you can try using your phone to login (using cell network, not wifi) and see if it works. whenever you do get in, i would advise to enforce the authenticator app prompt. now days attempted breaches are way too common.

Sounds to me like someone may have changed your MS password. I had a friend that I helped with the exact same issue. When I finally got into her account I checked all the places that had accessed her account and found successful sign-ins from a middle eastern country. So someone had successfully hacked her MS account and managed to change her password. The only verification method she had on file was another email address; no cell phone. I have no clue how it was done.

See if you can change your password this way since MS will send a code to your phone or alternate email address if you have one on file. Make you password difficult using numbers, cap and little letters, and at least one special symbol. More is preferable. Reset a forgotten Microsoft account password - Microsoft Support

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I'm back in at this moment.

A lot of people are finding success by using a different Wi-Fi network. But I'm not using Wi-Fi. Mine came good by itself after about a day.


I just think that Microsoft need to get their act together.
