Microsoft authentication issue hits Outlook, Skype, OneDrive, Xbox users
Many Microsoft users are reporting they cannot access their key services this morning, March 7, thanks to what looks to be a Microsoft Account authentication glitch.
Microsoft is apparently experiencing some kind of authentication issue which is preventing many from being able to sign in to their Outlook, Skype, OneDrive, Xbox and other Microsoft accounts.
A number of users have taken to Twitter to ask why they cannot get into these Microsoft Account (MSA) enabled services. I've seen complaints starting around 8 am ET today (EDIT: 1 PM CET), March 7. By 9 am ET, some were saying they were beginning to gain access to their accounts. Others said access was intermittent.

My wife can't play the MS solitaire game. All she get's is the start page that says loading and has spinning circles.
Hello, any news on this? I was one of the people that was affected. Has there been a fix yet? Thank you!
