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.

    To be honest, I have found this community to be completely useless.  I have been pointed to the same article more than once, and have stated that I had already looked at the article and checked my account history, which indicated that the source of the login requests was my own location and IP address although I was not using my device at the time.  I would have thought the Microsoft agents would have read my question carefully and be able to explain the issue, not keep pointing me to the same lame article.
