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.

Hi BenjaminDau,

If you're receiving unsolicited verification codes, this means that someone is trying to login your account and unable to pass the verification process. Kindly see the suggestions provided in this article on how to keep your Microsoft account safe and secure.

    Been receiving texts like this 使用验证码 (code) 进行 Microsoft 身份验证。

    I have removed the code, this has been happening for 2 days now. How can i stop this?

    Many thanks

    Snap! With so many reporting the same issue, it has to be a Microsoft problem. Would be good if they gave anything other than a stock reply.
