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.

    I have the same issue, l have checked with my organization and they have advised my account looks fine. They have removed MFA from my account and added it again, reset the password and everything. I have also done this with my own personal account, but the codes are still being sent every 1min

    If we’re IT for a number of firms and we keep getting code sent to us… How do we know which account it’s coming from as a text doesn’t tell us? I gather we have to login to all the accounts we manage and check some kind of a log. Which log should we be looking for?
