Outlook Account! Unable to verify account information?

I have always had a hotmail account and have been using it on both my iPhone and iPad with no problem.   Recently it asked me to set up 2 step sign in for security  reasons which I did.  I also changed my password at the same time.  Now I cannot sign in.  When trying to load my messages it says Cannot Get Mail The connection to the sever failed.  If I go in to setting, mail accounts choose hotmail.com and re-enter my password a message comes up Outlook Account Unable to verify account information.   Please can anyone help me?

Hi have the same Problem. I solved in that way: (also with skydrive)
Remove the Account from the iPhone.
Sign in Outlook.com directly with an Internet browser.
Create New Account On my iPhone.
Now it works. Also skydrive.

  • Exchange Account - Unable to verify account information

    Hi There.  I was trying to setup a staff members work e-mail to a work iPhone 4.  The e-mail is an Exchange e-mail.  All the information is correct (e-mail spelling, username and password, Domain and Server, etc) but it keeps saying "Exchange Account - Unable to verify account information"  Usually I just click Ok and it still gives me the options to select what I want to sync (Mail, Calendar, etc) and it still goes through.  This time it doesn't work at all. Just saves the info I inputted and won't sync up.  Any ideas on what's going on?
    Thank you for your time and consideration!

    Did the user change their password recently?
    A user complained about not being able to log in with correct credentials (on outlook 2010) while at home. His password had expired, and when he came in this morning, he changed it. We then tried to set up his exchange account on his iPhone, which gave us the "Unable to verify account information" message. When I learned of the password change, I looked in our Active Directory and sure enough, his account had been marked as "Locked". I unlocked it, and voila! He added his account without any further problems.
    So in short, check Active Directory to see if the accounts of affected users are locked. If they are, unlock them.

    It was under hotmail before they updated it. This is what it said when I tried a different one  the pop server IMAP mail.outlook.com is not responding check ur network connection and that u have entered the correct information in the incoming mail server.  I've tried different ways of doing it, it continues to say unable to verify account information

  • Hotmail account unable to verify account information?

    In the past 2 days, I had to change my hotmail password and now I can not use my hotmail on my iphone5.  It gives me a hot mail account, unable to verify account information.  I can log in fine on my pc.  When i called apple, they said it was a microsoft problem, and microsoft says it is an apple problem and they don't support hotmail.

    You stated that you CANNOT use the same password.  That is incorrect.  You CAN use the same password.  That's it. Period.  End of discussion.  Your original statement was false.
    But, let's humor you:
    The fact that I DO use the same password for my account is proof enough for me.  I am an Outlook user.  I am fully aware that it was a CHOICE whether or not to enable Two-Step Verification.  I chose not to use it.
    Secondly, this particular Apple ID that I use is new, yes.  I don't use my old one much on these forums anymore.  Doesn't mean I'm new to the site.  I guess you don't understand how Apple IDs work very well.  But that's okay.
    I did read the link that you provided.  You apparently did not.  The first part says 'After you've turned on two-step verification'.  In other words, it is NOT the default setting.  It was NEVER the default setting.  It was something that the user had to CHOOSE to enable.
    You actually have to sign into your account, go to Password and Security, and Edit security info.
    You have to CHOOSE to turn it on.

  • Outlook account unable to verify account informaion

    Hello
    I have a iphone and I have always been able to check my hotmail ( microsoft outlook)  from my phone. Now when I tried to check my email I get a message OUTLOOK ACCOUNT UNABLE TO VERFIY ACCOUNT INFORMATION. I changed my password called the Microsoft support and spend $70.00 with them but the problem still is not resolved. What can I do?

    Hi I m no tech wizz or anything your tags says that you have an iphone 4, ios 7.1. Well ios 7.1 can have a range of issues some people are lucky. Well to answer your question if you have updated and the email doesn't work but before it does than I suggest backing up all of your data and try to restore your iphone.
    Instructions are on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    This is just a suggestion my iphone stuff up too try to restore fix some issues but not all though.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hotmail exchange account; "unable to verify account information"

    When setting up my hotmail using Microsoft Exchange on the "mail" app I get; "unable to verify account information". 
    I've read many people stating this problem but not a single solution. Any ideas please?
    I'm using an Ipad 2
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Although hotmail is a POP account, you can use MS Exchange. I was using 2 hotmail accounts, both on Exchange and both were working well until a few days ago. Now both are working intermittently :-/ look around there are many work arounds, however, no full solutions.

  • Outlook Account - Unable to verify account settings

    How do I get round this?  I am setting up two identical iPod touch 5th gens, one of which has allowed me to set up the email, but the second one won't.  Can anyone help me? 

    Hare you tried deleting the account for the problem iPod and reenter the settings? It is easy to make an error in the entering the settings but hard to find an error.

  • When I try to enter my company e-mail account, i receive the following message "exchange account unable to verify account information"

    my iphone is 4s

    Our exchange accounts throw that error too, however, if you click okay and then save when it says "this account may not be able to send or receive emails. Are you sure you want to continue?" and then click save on the top right (exchange screen) and then save on the top right (exchange account screen) it should then give you "configuring sync" and drop back to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then start to push email to you. Make sure that you have all of your account info correctly entered.

  • Problem with Fresh/New Exchange 2013 - Exchange Account, Unable to verify account information

    hi!
    For a client, i just setup AD (windows 2012 R2), and Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 R2.
    The AD is brand new, the exchange is installed correctly, i setup send connectors, and i could send and receive emails succefully.
    But, when i want to use mobile devices like iphone, i receive the error as in title.
    I've not changed anything from the default policies of Mobile devices policy...
    What could be the problem?
    how can i fix?
    Regards!
    Lasandro Lopez

    Hi Lasandro,
    Agree with Dare, Exchange 2013 is not supported to run on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    Exchange 2013 SP1 will add Windows Server 2012 R2 as a supported operating system for Exchange Server 2013 with SP1.
    For more information, here is a blog for your reference.

  • TS3899 Cannot get my shaw email to work with ios8 on iPhone 5c.  Keep getting unable to verify account information

    I have had my shaw email on my phone forever without problem.  updated to ios8 on thursday and today i cannot access it.  Password is correct but kept asking for it and saying it was wrong.  Deleted the account and tried re-adding it and now i get Exchange Account Unable to Verify account information.  I also tried adding it as other and same message.  I went to shaw's info page but they have not updated for ios8 yet.

    Thanks for your reply.  I use Sky email which is managed by google. I have now deleted the account and set it up again and that seems to be working now. I'm still having problems just getting the Internet connection to work. I won't be taking on any more software upgrades in future until I'm sure that they are worth it.

  • HT1694 I enter my hotmail account into outlook and I get the 'unable to verify account information'...why?

    I enter my hotmail account into outlook and I get the 'unable to verify account information'...why?
    My email and password are correct. I can log in and check mail on the site but for some reason not in the app.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I too had this problem.
    I found the answer on another forum question: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25497825#25497825
    If you have enabled Two-Step Verification, then you shoud go to following link:
    https://account.live.com/Proofs/AppPassword
    You will get password for any applications you want to add, just insert that password in place of your regular password and you are good to go.

    I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
    1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
    2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
    3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
    4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
    5. Waiting for validation.
    That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!
