Hi,
I have been receiving an email about resetting my Microsoft password so far today i received 6 messages with the code to reset. This email has not been open in awhile, however i do have it linked to my phone for easy accessibility to emails. How do i get the emails to stop.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Add me to the list. I have gotten 4 requests in the last hour. And i get several a day for at least the last week. A few failed login attempts from China, but far less attempts than password reset requests. Gonna try some of the suggestions. The failed attempts just have the alias with no domain.
I have also had about 12 emails " gmail " in the past week regarding password reset for my Microsoft account. I havent requested to change it.
The email from the sender looks quite legit so not sure what its all about
" ******@accountprotection.microsoft.com "
If you go to your microsoft account, security, security settings. And in there change alert settings. You can then turn off notifications. Which is a bit risky but until its sorted preferable.
Exactly the same issue here. Loads of password reset requests every day for the last week or so
Mine also showed 11 sync attempts from Russia, Bulgaria, Taiwan, China, France.
