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.

    I too have been receiving an inordinate amount of emails from Microsoft Account Services for the past few weeks. I have received 10 such emails in the last 24 hours. I am getting pretty worried that my MS as well as Xbox information is going to be compromised by these attempts to reset my password. Please let us know what if anything we can do to rectify this issue.

    Yup since 20/05 so since 20 may they trying to log in. 15 seems that sincerely what juin they are trying even more. With the password reset emails. 

    Its one a day since a week almost... **** anoying. I already changed my pass word 1 year ago after i got a malware on my pc and to empty my crypto (so i changed my gmail and Hotmail password to something i never used befor what is not bad but anoying when i want to login) but that tis besides the point

    Its all China thailand etc... Russia. 

    There must be a breach cause i mean first i was like must be those hackers again. But seems like im not the only one. 

    So i don't need to worry just getting sick of the emails...

    I also have been receiving emails from Outlook/hotmail all day to my GMAIL, providing me a password reset code. I never requested a password reset, nor did I forget my password. This is the 5th reset code I've received today from Outlook.

    Frustrating trying to get a hold of someone from Support team.

    This is also happening to me now. It started yesterday. I get two to three emails with a password reset code. I checked my recent activity online, and I too saw the unsuccessful sync attempts from China, Russia, Malaysia, etc., although that actually happened weeks ago, whereas these emails started up yesterday.

    I also see under recent activity that sometimes under Device/Platform, it shows "Windows," which I don't use, and the Browser/App says unknown. Other times it shows Mac / Chrome, which I do use. What makes me think there's nothign to worry about here is that the IP address, whether it shows Windows or Mac, is the same. The support says the password reset emails could be a glitch in the system, as the automatic sync could have to do with the global database / servers or something along those lines.
