Update:
Microsoft has supplied the following quote, which suggests the login issues are ongoing:
«We are aware of reports that some users are having difficulty signing in to some services. We are investigating this issue. »
The quote is attributed only to «a Microsoft spokesperson».
Original story:
Microsoft seems to have suffered an outage with its authentication servers, leading to many users being locked out of services.
Services include Outlook mail and Skype, with Xbox Live also showing a «Limited» live state. Other Microsoft services could be affected too.
The issue takes the form of a standard Microsoft account login screen declaring correct passwords incorrect, or otherwise saying an account doesn’t exist entirely.
Applications such as Google’s Gmail app will — in Computing’s experience — launch a browser to attempt to resolve an «incorrect» password, then simply close the browser again after a password is entered, but continue to flag up an incorrect password within the app.
