Microsoft has flagged a spike in gateway timeout errors on its services for users in the United States. The issue affects users trying to access services that require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). The company is investigating and says it may impact users in organizations using MFA for sign-in. However, consumer products like Outlook and OneDrive are not affected.
Microsoft’s shares were down 3% on Monday morning due to the issue, which has also been reported by Downdetector. The company is analyzing potential third-party authentication dependencies and interactions to understand the cause of the problem. As of now, there are no issues with consumer products like Outlook, Teams, or Azure.
The issue affects users in North America, but it’s not clear when it will be resolved. Microsoft has assured that its investigation is ongoing, and updates on the status will be provided as necessary.
