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.

    Is there a way to stop the attempts? I've received a hundred notifications with verification codes. I already changed my password.

    I have recent two texts in quick succession with a microsoft access code that I did not request. I have logged into my account and looked at recent sign in activity but cannot see anything suspicious and the only registered device is my laptop. Can you advise on whether or not my account has been compromised or if there was a legitimate reason the codes were sent?

    Thank you,

    Emma
