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.

    Yup. I'm receiving this notification emails daily on my secondary/recovery email address (gmail). 

    I've updated the password just in case, but I continue to receive these emails.

    For the last days i start to receive e-mails with reset codes to reset my password, but i didn't asked for them. When i look into my activity history i can't find anything related.
