Outlook down
- Thread starter Diddums
- Start date
Sounds like a hookey/pirated version.
Hope yours is working better than 365
Kinda missing the point there mate.
Was literally thinking that earlier.
Thankfully I'm already logged in to everything I need, except one thing that I don't desperately need access to today.
Most of those things I need are app 2FA anyway. Only one portal that we use is email 2fa I believe, as it doesn't allow you to use an authentication app for some reason.
Ha, no, not all all. This evening it becomes O363, etc.
Just a poor attempt at humour.

Outlook being down is like a snow day when you were a kid.

Its really highlighted to me (work wise anyway) how little I actually use Outlook these days
I'm a lawyer, we still do basically everything through it (which is depressing for so many reasons)
Really shouldn't be a thing these days. Should be using authenticator apps or password managers.

Fabulous, stealing that.
That's not the blue sky thinking we promote in the workplace.
I had a strange one the other day. Realised I hadn't been able to log into Coventry building society for about a month, putting in U/N and P/W and when it got to the stage of sending a text to my phone it just said "Something went wrong" etc
Rang customer services and was asked if I used anti-virus, which I do but nothing had changed my end. It seems they had done an update on their systems and it was my AVG that was stopping their system sending a text to my phone? So I had to put 2 url exceptions into AVG and it started working again.
For someone who isn't that IT literate, how does that work?

Been up since 4AM dealing with the 'My emails/teams/onedrive/graph are broken'; good times.
I have started forwarding on eBay listings for fax machines as part of responses but no one is finding it funny

I was going to say the same thing. What protection is email MFA if someone is already into your email duh
If Teams is working, should I be the first to pop a message into the team chat to see?
I feel like nobody is daring because that means we’d have to attempt some sort of work stuff…Things like this make you realise who takes their job way too seriously. (Ie the people stressing for zero reason because people wouldn’t notice if they stopped sending emails for a week let alone 24hrs)

You'd be surprised at the number of platforms and services implementing passwordless email OTP's for authentication.I was going to say the same thing. What protection is email MFA if someone is already into your email duh

All those employees Microsoft have been sacking over the last few years looks like it has paid off.
This is bound to be caused by AI vibe coding, hopefully this is another step closer to help burst the bubble sooner.
I am glad I moved all my files from Onedrive last month.
I wanted to download all my important emails a few weeks ago but Microsoft 365 does not allow saving as pst file, so I am stuck with them, and crossing my fingers that they have not lost any data.
