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 received a two-step verification code tonight at 7 p.m. and I was not near any device. I was actually cooking eating dinner. I checked the activity on my account and nothing showed up. So why did I receive a 2-step Verification at 7 p.m.? Someone must have been trying to access my account. I received another at 9 p.m. when I checked my account and it was the same text thread.
