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.

    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.
