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 have recently been sent several verification codes. I changed the password already, have two way verification on and Authenticator as well. Do I need to do anything else?

    I received a four number access code. This is the first and only time that it’s happened.

    I want to know which of my Microsoft accounts are generating these prompts and where they are being generated from so I can change the right passwords
