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.

    Received a verification code that I did not ask for today. This email address has not been popular either.

    I have read the article and followed the instructions, but I continue to received multiple use verification code for Microsoft authentication.  I am still unsure why this is occurring, especially when my computer is not on.
