Microsoft's MFA Authentication Services Hit by Gateway Timeout Errors Across U.S.

U.S.-based users are currently unable to access Microsoft services that rely on multi-factor authentication (MFA), as reports from Jin10 confirm that many are encountering persistent 504 gateway timeout errors. This technical glitch is preventing legitimate users from completing the MFA verification process needed to access their accounts and services. The gateway timeout issue appears to be system-wide, affecting authentication infrastructure across multiple Microsoft platforms. The company has acknowledged the problem and is actively working to resolve the disruption, with engineers tackling the underlying gateway timeout cause to restore full service availability as quickly as possible.
