Authentication failed hotmail kindle fire hd

Frustrating!

Authentication failed on Hotmail with Kindle Fire HD can be caused by a few reasons. Let's troubleshoot together:

  1. Check your Hotmail account password: Make sure you're entering the correct password. If you've forgotten your password, try resetting it.
  2. Ensure your Hotmail account is not blocked: Sometimes, Hotmail may block your account due to suspicious activity. Check your account status by logging in to your Hotmail account on a computer or mobile device.
  3. Check your Kindle Fire HD's date and time: Ensure your Kindle Fire HD's date and time are set correctly. This can affect the authentication process.
  4. Clear Kindle Fire HD's cache and data: Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Hotmail > Clear Cache and Clear Data. Then, try logging in again.
  5. Check for Hotmail app updates: Ensure you're running the latest version of the Hotmail app on your Kindle Fire HD. Go to the Amazon Appstore, search for Hotmail, and update the app if necessary.
  6. Disable and re-enable Hotmail app: Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Hotmail > Disable. Wait for a few seconds, then enable it again.
  7. Check for firewall or antivirus software issues: If you have firewall or antivirus software installed on your Kindle Fire HD, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
  8. Reset your Kindle Fire HD: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting your Kindle Fire HD to its factory settings. This will erase all your data, so be sure to back up your device before doing so.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact Amazon support or Hotmail support for further assistance.

Remember to always keep your device and apps up to date to minimize the risk of authentication issues.
