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 don't like the fact that someone is trying to get into my Microsoft account. I also do not like having to constantly go through repeated verifications almost every day.

    well why doesn't the system message tell you that up front. My company uses Microsoft verification for email and I updated passwords yesterday, then at 5am today I am getting these phone calls....I fianlly pushed the damn # tag to get them to stop. Now I feel I might be screwed. The freaking message could be more informative.
