If you're having trouble adding your Hotmail account to your phone, the first thing you should do is check that your password is correct. More often than not, a typo in a password is the culprit. However, many users have reported issues adding their Hotmail accounts to their phones despite an accurate password. If you have further issues, you can sign in to your Hotmail account on a web browser and add the page to your home screen on both iOS and Android phones. This is a quick and simple workaround for a stubborn Hotmail account.
