Hotmail account repeatedly locked

Anonymous

* Locked

On Sat Jan 8, 2022, my outlook/hotmail account was temporarily locked due to "unusual activity". I requested a verification code, and my account was unlocked. I changed my password. I logged in OK the next day. I can receive emails, but as soon as I send an email, my account is locked again. What can I do?

I have been seeing this as well, I see the activity (Login attempts) coming from USA and Rus. Is there anyway to use GEO lock and only allow loggings from my country. Seems like there's been a leak with the amount of users experiencing this issue.
