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.

    Hi Jomel

    As many other people on this topic have stated. I also am receiving many text messages from microsoft regarding a verification code (100's in the past 24 hours!)

    I also have changed all my passwords and changed notification to email rather than text to my mobile!. The notifications are still coming through on my mobile (although not as many) !!

    Is there a way of checking how many microsoft accounts use my mobile number?

    Something's not right, please update with any progress on this issue.
