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 keep receiving password reset emails,  sent to my phone? I've reset it on numerous occasions.  But keep getting them. I believe someone has access to my Gmail account.

    Recently I cannot open email without being offered a new email account -- I want to keep my old account as is without having to change the password. I am a sole citizen, non worker and have adequate firewall. I would like to get rid of continuous "upgrades." Carol March1

    I have been getting these too. The account that is being probed is not my main account but a burner account that I have had for years. I'd like to change the password to a more secure one, but unfortunately, the hackers have hit it too many times and I have to wait.

    I too have been getting these pass code from Microsoft I get roughly 4 a day and have non stop for over two weeks now. I have tried to contact Microsoft but no luck with that! 

    How did look at people's ip address and see where they tried to log in from? Do you have a url? I figured someone is trying to hack my account and trying so many passwords a day so I went and made a password with 20 characters lol. That should take them a couple thousand years to crack.... Well with today computer speed anyway.
