33 different people have complained about this since 17 May 2018, most recently on 05 Oct 2026.
- “The app itself is useful but I need to login from both my desktop and my phone and it’s so clunky and frustrating.”
- “The sign in process is so annoying it’s infuriating.”
- “When it does finally login, all my chats are missing.”

Slack — Login process terrible The app itself is useful but I need to login from both my desktop and my phone and it’s so clunky and frustrating. I’m constantly stuck in a loop of “incorrect password or email” despite it being correct and when I finally decide to try and change my password it says that my email…
FrustratedMicrosoft Teams — Trash The sign in process is so annoying it’s infuriating. The sign in process is pathetic. Why can’t you just make it you click you join your in but no, it’s like a complete mess. Bill Gates should’ve spent less time on Epstein‘s Island and more time making better software for the public.
Frustrated…ries to login using Microsoft's own 2 step verification with Outlook. When it does finally login, all my chats are missing. If I leave the app, or keep it open to switch to another app, it logs me out. I have to login EVERY TIME I open the app. This is insane. I've reinstalled 4 times, same result. I'm logged in on…
Missing featureGroupMe — Its OK For some reason the whole time ive had this app i could log in and it always said something was wrong and i tried EVERYTHING to get to work i dont mean to dis the app but it was quite un-helpful for me especially with band when i couldnt see important messages and i wish that insted of just saying…
Wishes it existed…space on a phone but forces you to a desktop browser just to name it. Because my sign-up email is inaccessible, I am trapped in a endless login loop on my phone's web browser, and the mobile app is completely useless for fixing it. Basic administrative tools and account management should be built directly into the…

Questions about this idea
- Is Team chat: Endless login loop and verification errors a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 33 different people described it independently, in 33 mentions, the earliest from 17 May 2018 and the most recent from 05 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: easing — a clearly smaller share than a month before. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 7 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

Microsoft Teams seems to have a recurring issue where users are stuck in an endless login loop, especially when using two-step verification. We've heard from 11 people facing similar problems, making it hard to access important chats. Does this happen when you switch between personal and work accounts, or is it more about the device you're using?
