I'm getting a few codes minute for the last hour or so.  I've checked to see if someone was accessing my account and there was no evidence of it.  I'm receiving texts from a handful of numbers and i don't want to block them in since i do need to get verification code from time to time, and the number i get the code from varies.

    I receive also the SMS "Use verification code xxxxxx for Microsoft authentication" last days. I have changed the password, but it has not helped.
