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.

    As an Admin of our company, I have multiple accounts that require 2FA to my phone number. I am not sure which account is requesting the code. Is there a way to find out?

    Same issue. Probably received close to 100 in the past couple of hours. I also have more than one account, so not sure which one is under attack. Will it simply stop at some point? If not, or if it's not advisible to wait for that to happen, what should I do?
